The stability of the crawler crane is one safety precaution that you consider when you are driving a crawler crane.
as crawler cranes are normally on steel treads ( Caterpillar type) they are on a very steady footing with l00% of the load suspended- there are minimal hazards of tipping or overturning. In comparison rubber tired truck cranes require outriggers for the maximum capacity and cannot move fore and aft (they can swing-on the turret- of course) while lifting. the Crawler crane does not have this handicap, but is on a solid steel footing. Accidents are rarer with this type.
the risk is the probability of injury
If you are struggling to stay awake while driving, you are risking your safety, as well as the safety of other drivers. The best way to stay awake while driving is to feel well rested. If you are exhausted, pull off of the road, and get some sleep.
You don't want to end your day in a body bag.
Nothing. It will keep on driving. There is a safety on the gear that will not enable it to be activated while in movement. It may destroy your gear though.
Not fastening your seatbelt.
That is not advised. That would be similar to texting while driving, which is dangerous and generally illegal.
There are different government regulations on roads. Most of them include safety in driving, speed, soberness while driving and so much more.
The MSF mainly instruct people on the safety to do with motorcycles, such as the risks while driving on and off roads, and the proper gear that should be used while riding.
If your brakes go out while driving, first shift the vehicle into neutral and then apply the emergency brake. If neither of these slows the vehicle, turn on your safety lights and get into the right lane.
In the interest of road safety - as little as possible. Use handsfree or a headset if you have to answer a call.
By law, no. Company policies might require it, however.
