An HVAC technician uses a portable ladder to access a low slope roof 12 feet high. The ladder is secured to the building and is 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 edge of the roof.
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?
