29 CFR 1926.1053(b)(16):Portable ladders with structural defects, such as, but not limited to, broken or missing rungs, cleats, or steps, broken or split rails, corroded components, or other faulty or defective components, shall either be immediately marked in a manner that readily identifies them as defective, or be tagged with "Do Not Use" or similar language, and shall be withdrawn from service until repaired.

Employees were utilizing this through out the day to access and egress the work area. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
