Webbing loop safety tether

Another use for an 8-9 foot webbing loop is to use it as a safety tether when working on a steep pitched or slippery roof. You can use the webbing loop to quickly tie into a roof ladder which will add confidence and safety to a vertical ventilation operation - If you loose footing, the webbing will prevent you from falling off the roof. Keep in mind that you should never step off a roof ladder (even partially) if the roof sheathing is compromised or fatigued in any way.
