"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed a rule that removes a deadline in OSHA's Walking-Working Surfaces standard by which all fixed ladders that extend more than 24 feet above a lower level must be equipped with personal fall arrest systems or ladder safety systems.

 

Additionally, OSHA is seeking comment on repealing or revising the requirement that employers use personal fall arrest systems on all fixed ladders over 24 feet tall and instead permitting employers to continue to use ladder cages or wells.

 

Comments and other information, including requests for a hearing, should be submitted electronically at https://www.regulations.gov/, identified by Docket No. OSHA-2025-0072, which is the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. All comments must be received on or before June 5, 2026. For more information, please see the Federal Register Notice."
