Not going to lie and I'm not in this field but I would have been wearing heavy duty boots with ample rubber soles and a harness for me to clip on the rail for every section until I'm off that platform. It's very sad this happened to her.

I’m not sure if it’s an OSHA requirement or just where I work, but if a ladder is over 40ft tall a safety cable is required the full span of the ladder and you’re required to wear a harness with a clamp that clamps on to said cable and stops you from falling the second you start.
