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.     a)     At the worksite, the employer did not ensure that the extension ladder that was used by employees to access the 18/12 pitch roof, was secured and provided with a grab rail at the eave of the roof, thereby exposing employees to an approximate 22 foot trip/fall hazard.
