Employees used a portable ladder with faulty or defective components to access the roof at the jobsite.  The ladder had not been inspected by a competent person for visible defects.  The ladder was not marked in a manner that readily identified it as defective, or tagged with "Do Not Use" or similar language, and was not withdrawn from service until repaired.
