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.  Between Column 37 & 38:  On or around November 4, 2013:  A laborer was using a ladder to access and egress the forms but the ladder did not extend 3 foot above the landing.
