I once saw the results of someone falling off a 3 storey building and it's not good.
Best regards, John

Have worked on roofs with my dad.
No harness though but we did it differently, what he is doing is simply very dangerous.

There is a dormer window on the rear roof slope.

They climbed out of the dormer window, onto the dormer roof and then walked up the roof to the ridge

Well whoever they are I would not use them as they do not look professional at all - my father is having his chimney rebuilt and scaffolding etc is a must along with the big tube/pipe to get the bricks etc down. cowboys come to mind
