I want to put cable tv in my Mechanics Workshop, but...

When the economy strengthens, i am considering putting cable tv for the mechanics to have music, news etc because it makes the day go faster and makes for a better work environment.

Problem is i am not sure if it is some kind of safety hazard, ie someone hurts themselve because they were watching the tv while driving or working with the forklifts ?

what are your thoughts ?

When I work on forklifts I go into deep consentration mode so I don't lose my fingers, start a fire, chop my arm off, crush my feet, have the forklift go flying across the room, blow the customers building up, etc. Background music OK, TV no way. If someone wants to talk to me I stop working because I can't consentrate.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
