No, OSHA does not require safety cages for fixed ladders over 20 feet, and they are not considered compliant for new installations. OSHA has phased them out in favor of more effective systems like a personal fall arrest system (PFAS) or a ladder safety system. New fixed ladders over 24 feet must use one of these systems, and all existing caged ladders must be retrofitted by November 18, 2036.
