29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(4): Ladders were used for purposes other than the purposes for which they were designed: (a)Pro-Tec Roofing, Inc. at 1515 15th St. NE, Watertown, SD 57071: On and prior to April 21, 2016, the exposing employer allowed two Louisville 8-foot step ladders to be used in the closed position and leaned up against a parapet wall to allow employees to access the east roof of the Watertown Community Center. Using the step-ladders in this configuration is contrary to manufacturer's instructions and exposes employees to falling off the ladder. This hazard exposed the employee to falls from heights of approximately 6 feet.
