    Most roofers don't tie off.

    When I got my chimney repaired, the guy walked across the peak of the roof, not even holding onto anything, like he was walking down the street.

    Not trying to deflect blame on the workers, and I'm not sure what else the company is responsible for, but occupational safety is often an afterthought to folks who work a trade. You should see some of the shit people pull working on live power in maintenance departments at big industrial sites like steel mills.
