Incident on Feb 13, 2003: Three employees injured when ladder jack system collapsed
Three employees were performing roofing-related activities 20 ft above grade. Tw o employees were working from a ladder jack system that collapsed due to a ladde r base kicking out after being hit by roof debris. As the scaffold collapsed one employee working below the scaffold working level was struck by the falling sca ffold components and fell 10 ft to the ground. None of the three employees were using fall protection. One employee was hospitalized for a fracture and the two others were treated for bruises, contusions and abrasions but were not hospitali zed. The original narrative did not specify which employee was hospitalized.

Current text from the Code of Federal Regulations. Some citations were issued under older wording.
29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(1)
(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.
29 CFR 1926.451(f)(6)
(6) The clearance between scaffolds and power lines shall be as follows: Scaffolds shall not be erected, used, dismantled, altered, or moved such that they or any conductive material handled on them might come closer to exposed and energized power lines than as follows:
29 CFR 1926.451(f)(7)
(7) Scaffolds shall be erected, moved, dismantled, or altered only under the supervision and direction of a competent person qualified in scaffold erection, moving, dismantling or alteration. Such activities shall be performed only by experienced and trained employees selected for such work by the competent person.
