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.  On or about April 6, 2021 at the job site located at 708 Locust St, Canal Fulton, Ohio 44614; during the installation of roofing material on a residential roof, the employer did not ensure portable ladders extend 3 feet above the upper landing surface.
