Height safety
08-05-06

Solution Wanted

I have a number of jobs to do on the roof of my house. In my younger years I had no trouble working high, and even spent time caving and some rock climbing. However when I hit sixty my comfort level working high vanished, and now I am quite insecure over a few feet above ground. Roofing was not one of my many earlier stints, so I really do not know where to begin in setting up a securing system for working safely at height. Surely there must be some easy-to-use "cool tool" for people working high. If anyone can help me with a recommendation on this, I would appreciate it.

A cool tool is anything useful that is superior to comparable items. If you think this tool is inferior suggest a better one. You are welcome to insult a tool, but comments containing insults to individual people will be deleted. Corrections of fact are always welcomed, if stated politely. Recommendations of better tools are dearly wanted and may be elevated to the front page.
