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. Located at 2890 Airport Drive, Columbus Ohio, 43219:  On or about April 24, 2025, employees were observed using a single extension ladder to access the roof of a three-story hotel without ensuring that the ladder extended at least three feet above the roofline or proper stabilization to prevent deflection or movement. This exposed the employees falls of up to 30 feet to the ground below.
