In the fixed wireless business, we've all tended to ignore rules about fall protection, with installers up on roofs without 100% tie off. Quite awhile ago, many sat TV installers edicted that all roof installs must be done from the ladder, which is often possible if you're shooting at the sky. No going up on the roof. (Or maybe don't tell the boss if you do?)
The theory was that with Starlink you'd just set it up on your deck, no ladder required. But most of the installs I see are at the peak of the roof, not sure how many of them can be done while standing on a ladder. And it's hard to tell how many were DIY installs vs "professional installation". Now that DISH is doing the installs for Starlink, and given they were the ones telling installers not to go up on the roof, I wonder if that's how they're doing Starlink installs as well. J-arm on the soffit seems to be a popular mounting method.
