General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(4): Ladder was not used for the purpose for which it was designed.    On or about 05 September 2019, and at times prior thereto, employees used a fiberglass step ladder as means of entrance and egress into a trench instead of an extension ladder. The ladder did not extent three feet past the landing surface, thus exposing the employees to the hazards of slips, trips and falls due to the unstable ladder and insufficient length.
