Is it a bad idea to listening to music with headphone when up the ladder?

[Amazin]

did that yesterday and haven't noticed any problems. I do get very bored sometimes

I've been listening to the radio for years without mishap, helps pass the time.

There is a very funny programme on R4 called 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue', and my wife gave me a CD of all the best bits. Now, I don't listen to anything while working, but thought that this particular day I would with my new cd. So there I was up on a sloping roof and laughing my head off, and had to stop because I felt it was too dangerous distracting me!!

loool, yeah safety first mate.

Not sure why but in the last few days the boredom started to bother me bit more, sometimes when I have negative thoughts it just repeat itself over and over. I'm fine of course but some music will help.

I personally have chosen not to listen to music when working on ladders, on roofs, or in areas with high traffic.

I want to be able to hear if someone yells as it could mean avoiding hurting myself or someone else.

Recently I just started to work alone again , so I'll start listening to music to beat the occasional boredom.

I am totally deaf in both ears and have been going up and down the ladder for nearly 15 years without problems so why would listen to music be a problem up the ladder?

 

[Nudel]

Maybe I'm just easily distracted and lack general awareness of my surroundings.

I love listening to music while I work. When I'm up the ladder it's helps pass the time and boredom. When I'm doing something stupid (high windows, footing over cars or balancing on conservatory roofs etc) it would help to distract me. Not that I do that stuff that often now I have reach and wash.

I thought it was the law to listen to radio 2 when working
