Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.26(c)(1): Good safe practices in the use and care of ladder equipment were not employed by the users to get maximum serviceability, safety, and to eliminate unnecessary damage of equipment: Ammonia Machinery Room: Employees were exposed to fall hazards where a portable straight metal ladder that was used to gain access to the roof was modified to permanently fix it in place by attaching metal brackets to the top of the side rails to connect it to the metal roof hatch. Metal plates were also added to the top rung and the second rung to the bottom of the ladder, and a steel cable was run down the front of the ladder between these two plates, creating additional hazards for employees ascending or descending the ladder.
