28 CFR 1910.27(e)(1)
"Preferred pitch." The preferred pitch of fixed ladders shall be considered to come in the range of 75 degrees and 90 degrees with the horizontal
Ladders can NEVER be pitched greater than 90 degrees.
There are other requirements in this standard regarding fixed ladders so I have attached the link to OSHA's website:

I didn't know you could fix a ladder. I thought you could only get dogs and cats fixed. I would think twice before you got the ladder fixed. Think how cute it would be to have all those little step ladders running around.
