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 10/06/2016, employees for Eloi Alyarder Estureo were working on the roof of a residential structure located at 134 Roehampton Lane, Weldon Spring, MO.  They were utilizing an extension ladder for access to the upper roof level.  This ladder did not extent at least 3 feet above the upper level.
