3) Check to see if they have workers comp/general liability/license to perform roofing. File complaint with L&I for unlicensed contractor if they do not. Need to be specific on each line.
4) If the guys on the roof were not roped in, and odds are they were not, file an OSHA claim.
I sort of am winging it here on some items (#2 and 3) but I think that L&I would be very interested to know these things.
I would also post on social media with the organization's name stating objectively and factually what happend as a warning.
Good job Higgins!

In Washington, the state handles workplace safety for the feds. The acronym is DOSH.
All those things work better if you can find the perp. When you cannot, it's Whack-A-Mole. But yeah, L&I would definitely be interested. They hate those guys.
