Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1): When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails did not extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder was used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder was not 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. a. Charles Lowe work site located at 837 Buckingham St., Toledo, Ohio: On or about October 14, 2019 the employer did not ensure the fiberglass extension ladder used by employees to access the roof was extended three feet above the edge of the roof.
