Scenario: In an industrial setting, a ladder starts 100 feet above grade on the side of a tower. The base landing of the ladder is only there for ladder access, so it meets OSHA minimum dimensions and is equipped with standard guardrail. The length of climb above this base is no more than 24 feet.
Question 1: What are the requirements for this elevated ladder with regard to falls? Does this scenario require a personal fall arrest or ladder safety system?
Question 2: Is a ladder cage still an allowed alternative due to the length of the climb?
