Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.23(c)(8): 29 CFR 1910.23(c)(8) The employer did not ensure that the top cap and the top step of a step ladder were not used as steps. The employer is failing to ensure that employees are not exposed to a fall hazard when using top step of the "A" frame ladder to access and egress the working surface. This was most recently documented on January 8, 2019 at 1230 East 9th Street Minden, Nebraska. The employer has employees exposed to fall hazards while using a 4 foot A frame ladder as means of access and egress to a working surface that is 35 inches above the floor. Instances of exposure include but are not limited to: i. Employees using the top step of the ladder without having a hand grip a minimum of 3 feet over the upper landing surface. ii. Employees having to step up 23 inches without using the top step or "cap" to access a work level 35 inches above the floor.
