Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.27(b)(1)(ii): The distance between rungs, cleats, and steps shall not exceed 12 inches and shall be uniform throughout the length of the ladder: a. Located near Slitter #1, a platform where employees tended to hot alloy pots, was a fixed ladder that had significant damage to its metal rung. The ladder's damaged rung left a 6 inch space between the damaged rung and the next rung up the ladder that had 12 inch interval rungs, which did not allow for the rung spacing to be uniform, thereby exposing the employees to a fall hazard from the ladder of a max height of approximately five feet.
