I was able to find OSHA's requirement for non-slip ladder rungs in 1926: "1926.1053(a)(6)(i) The rungs and steps of fixed metal ladders manufactured after March 15, 1991, shall be corrugated, knurled, dimpled, coated with skid-resistant material, or otherwise treated to minimize slipping..."
but I am trying to locate the similar requirement for fixed ladders covered under 1910.27.
My understanding is that, while the requirements are similar, one reg covers construction sites (1926) and one covers permanent workplace requirements (1910).
It makes sense that ALL ladder rungs be non-slip, but I can't find the actual regulation for it in 1910. Maybe it's not a requirement for fixed stairs.
