Why is it that some company vehicles can get away with not having basic safety features like airbags and such?

I work at ups, and for my job, I drive a tug, wich is basically a really shitty car that can only go 15mph, however, as far as I can tell, none of these tugs have airbags, they have no turn signals and the seat belt only goes across your waist. Why can companies get away with this type of thing?

First, at 15 mph (kinda running speed) an airbag would be useless (probably more dangerous than improving safety) At that speed crashing through the windscreen etc is also not likely.

Without turn signals – the vehicle is clearly not legal for public roads. In which case, not all features are implemented.

In a workspace, the employees are supposed to be supervised and trained on the operating procedures of any equipment they are required to use.
