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. On or about June 6, 2017, located at Building B in New Albany, Ohio, employees used an extension ladder to gain access to and from the roof of the apartment building while the ladder did not extend at least three feet about the landing surface, thereby exposing the employees to a maximum fall hazard of 10 feet.
