Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(16): Portable ladders with structural defects, such as, but not limited to, broken or missing rungs, cleats, or steps, broken or split rails, corroded components, or other faulty or defective components, were not either immediately marked in a manner that readily identifies them as defective, or tagged with "Do Not Use" or similar language, and were not withdrawn from service until repaired. (a) On or about December 12, 2022, an aluminum Werner extension ladder erected on the north side of the Structure and being used for access to the roof, was not taken out of service, and/or tagged and marked do not use, when ladder was unserviceable and/or defective. This exposed employees to a fall hazard in-that the ladder had broken/damaged rungs.
