An HVAC technician uses a portable ladder to access a low-slope roof 12 feet high. The ladder is secured to the building and placed at a 4/1 angle. The side rails of the ladder extend three feet above the roof landing. The HVAC unit to be worked on is 25 feet from the roof’s edge.
Question: When the employee steps onto the roof’s landing from the portable ladder and while the employee is walking to the HVAC unit, is the employee required to have fall protection?
Response: No.
