Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
1926.1053(b)(1): "Stairways and Ladders". When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder shall be secured at its top to a rigid support that will not deflect, and a grasping device, such as a grabrail, shall be provided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder. In no case shall the extension be such that ladder deflection under a load would, by itself, cause the ladder to slip off its support. On March 28, 2017, located on the northwest side of a commercial roof structure, employees were observed using a 24' portable extension ladder to gain roof access. The ladder did not extend at least 3' above the upper landing surface.
