Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 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 grabrail, 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. On Dec. 4, 2017, located inside the southeast area of a residential structure, an employee was observed using a 16 foot portable extension ladder to gain second floor access. The ladder did not extend at least 3 feet above the upper landing surface. Benny's Roofing LLC was previously cited in 2017 for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1220986, citation number 1, item number 1, final order date 5/3/2017 with respect to a workplace located at 1299 Bourdeaxu Way, Springboro OH 45066.
