Hmmm ... I used to work with an old-timer at a Deere dealership-shop that complained about anybody having a radio on - when driving or working on a tractor. He claimed it was dangerous. Hey, maybe he was right. He was smoking a Marlboro one day and turning a 3/4" wrench on a Deere dozer - and dropped dead of a heart attack. Guess doing two things at a time did him in. With me? I can chew gum, turn a wrench, and listen to the radio and get by pretty well. Gotten away with it for a long time.
It depends on who is operating the equipment. I've driven cars and trucks with the radio on for 40 years and zero accidents.
As far as having the radio in the headphones - doesn't distract me from the work at all. It's more like "white noise" than anything else. Many people can do two, maybe three things at a time without getting hurt. All depends on who's doing it.
