Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1): 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 grab rail, 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. Location: Mass Avenue & Locust Street, Lexington, MA: On or about 9/11/2017, the eight-foot fly section of an aluminum extension ladder used by the employee to access/egress the trench did not extend three-feet above the roadway.
