  • Publication number: 20130067848
    Abstract: A device, system and method for providing an assembly configured for hooking to a ridge rafter of a building is provided. In one embodiment the device comprises a single piece unit, made from steel or another sufficiently strong material which is hooked at one end and looped at the other end thus forming an eye. The hook starts by turning a 90 degree and then a 0 degree to 180 degree turn. The compound angle thus formed allows the device to be angled into a small opening. The device is used to hook the ridge rafter from the bottom side of a building roof while having a tie-off point for fall protection.
