Aware yes as for the ladder issues i think its how and where you put the ladder and how you use it when your up there.After all you don't just fall off it's allways a fault somewhere.

Ive had a couple of blokes work for me in the past.
one stepped of a flat roof , he forgot  where he was and the window edge was past edge of roof.he just stepped off,luckely his fall was broken by a plant pot.one broken arm.As for ladders, woods the best they give you warning before snapping.As for slipping common sence works quite well.
Although i use mostley wfp now.
