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) Snyder's Unlimited LLC, at a jobsite located at 8544 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068: On and/or preceding July 26, 2021, the employer did not ensure portable ladders that were used for access to an upper landing surface were extended at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface. Employees were using an extension ladder that did not extend at least 3 feet above the edge of the roof, thereby exposed to fall hazards of up to 9 feet 5 inches.
