29 CFR  1926.501(b)(13):"Residential construction." Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system unless another provision in paragraph (b) of this section provides for an alternative fall protection measure. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems, the employer shall develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of 1926.502.  On or about August 30, 2024, at a worksite located at 1804 South Ridge Road in Green Bay, Wisconsin; employees were exposed to fall hazards up to approximately 15 feet 9 inches to the ground level while tearing off old roofing shingles and laying underlayment on a two-story residence without fall protection.

Accordingly, the employer has the burden of establishing that it is appropriate to implement a fall protection plan which complies with 1926.502(k) for a particular workplace situation, in lieu of implementing any of those systems.

29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(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.   On or about August 30, 2024, at a worksite located at 1804 South Ridge Road in Green Bay, Wisconsin; employees utilized a multi-position ladder to access/egress a two-story residential roof that did not extend at least three feet above the landing surface, exposing employees to trip and fall hazards.
