Hi

Is there a standard way of working safely on the ridge where a roof hip
joins the main section using 'normal' equipment?

I can think of two possibilities:

1) Put a standard roof ladder over each side of the main roof (ie, two
ladders), and bring a rope between them across the hip.

2) Put a tower against the flank wall (where the hip runs to), secure
it to the building with eye bolts, then lay a ladder over the roof that
is secured to the tower at its base.

Anyone have any thoughts?
