    Are you serious, Husqvarna ear muffs ( ie protectors?) with radio, that's surely a potential safety hazard? Imagine operating a mower or strimmer or chainsaw whilst listening to the radio!:eek:

    I'm really surprised if it is true that such a product would be legal, surely a serious safety risk?

    Cadbury's gave them to the operators on the line years ago which I thought would have been a H&S issue.

    Mind you most of the operators are women who as we know can listen to Joe duffy, pick/pack chocolate and have a conversation at the same time. :P

    Whereas men would hurt themselves (usually their brain) doing more than two things at a time :)
