29 CFR 1926.503(b)(1): The employer shall verify compliance with paragraph (a) of this section by preparing a written certification record. The written certification record shall contain the name or other identity of the employee trained, the date(s) of the training, and the signature of the person who conducted the training or the signature of the employer. If the employer relies on training conducted by another employer or completed prior to the effective date of this section, the certification record shall indicate the date the employer determined the prior training was adequate rather than the date of actual training.    On or about July 6, 2020, employees performing roofing work at a residential property were exposed to fall hazards of approximately 25 feet with no fall protection when the employer failed to prepare a written certification that employees were adequately trained to recognize and minimize the fall hazards.

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 grab rail, 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 or about July 6, 2020, at the above addressed jobsite, the portable ladder to access the front area roof did not extend at least three (3') feet above the upper landing surface, thereby exposing employees to fall hazards of approximately 25 feet.       Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
