From the US OSHA Construction standards:
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.

I was not a worker.

I'm assuming that you are asking about hooped safety caged ladders. Originally these were designed for the mining industry to protect workers from being hit by buckets of coal and to allow for them to sit and rest when climbing long distances. In theory, a worker would crumple in the cage thus preventing a fall but according to this article apparently this is not the case. www.uvsar.com/downloads/HSW-3-2008_Fixed_ladders.pdf A fall in a ladder safety cage could result in serious injury.
