In New York State, any work done on a ladder is governed by a very specific set of rules contained in § 23-1.21 of the New York State Industrial Code. This comprehensive set of rules covers a wide range of ladder related issues such as:
- Strength of ladders
- Placement and securing
- Construction of ladders
- Acceptable types of ladders
These rules are in place in recognition of the danger that is presented by working on a ladder. Serious injury and even fatalities are possible even when ladders are used according to the rules.
