General-duty citation text
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 10, 2020, two employees were using a portable ladder for access to the roof in which they were working that did not extend at least 3 feet above the upper landing surface. The ladder did not have a grasping device to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder in use.
