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.  On or about April 15, 2026, at a work location located at 1105 Oak Ave SE, Massillon Ohio 44646 the employer did not ensure that multiple ladders used for access/egress to/from the roof of a residential structure extended at least 3 feet beyond the upper landing surface and/or was secured at the top with a grasping device, exposing employees to falls over 17.8 feet.
