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?

Many/most of the safety features that we normally think about in the US for cars are primarily required by laws governing the operation of motor vehicles on public roadways. If the tug you are describing can only 15 mph, is it intended to be driven on the street? Or is it more akin to a golf cart? Sounds like the latter may be the case and if so, that is why in that instance the vehicle can go without standard safety features in a passenger vehicle
