@ 2uesday, far too many folks suffer injuries due to taking safety concerns lightly. For instance, using a chair to reach something in the cupboard, change a light bulb or cleaning and dusting around the home. All it takes is one misstep, a slip, or trying to reach something when a fall occurs.
I believe it a good thing, everyone just take a few extra minutes to consider. The emotional and medical cost, not to mention work loss, and rehabilitation costs do far exceed the cost and effort of doing things safely.
No one wants to break a hip, dislocate a shoulder, suffer a head injury, or do they.
Be safe, and work smarter. Mike :)

Good to know, I was just considering a ladder that will reach my ceiling fans in two rooms both with vaulted ceilings. These fans are way up there but need a good dusting all the same. Thanks for the tips. :)K
