North Pole workshop: what the sources say
- OSHA’s ladder standard says that when portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the side rails are to extend at least 3 feet above it.1
- OSHA’s ladder standard says: “Ladders shall have nonconductive siderails if they are used where the employee or the ladder could contact exposed energized electrical equipment.”2
- The CPSC reports that the most frequent holiday decorating incidents involved falls (41%).3
Verdict. This one suits a house with a clear, reachable gable and someone who will do the climb once and leave the star up all season; it fails when the star goes on a steep roof from a ladder that is too short.
