Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1): Where portable ladders were used for access to an upper landing surface and the ladder's length allows, the ladder side rails did not extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface being accessed: 13 Construction & Pro Services LLC: The employer is failing to protect employees from elevated fall hazards. The condition was most recently observed on or about December 14, 2023, when three employees were observed working on a roof at 207 Limerick Avenue in Wentzville, Missouri. The employer did not ensure that where portable ladders were used for access to an upper landing surface, and where the ladders length allowed, that the ladders side rails were extended at least 3 feet (.9m) above the upper landing surface being accessed. The ladder the employees used to access the roof was extended approximately 10 inches beyond the upper landing, or edge of the roof, thus exposing employees to fall hazards.
