Washington – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed a new federal safety standard to help protect passengers in rollover crashes involving motorcoaches and other large buses.

People who work on or around roller-compactors are at risk for rollover or struck-by injuries, according to NIOSH. Although rollover injuries and fatalities can be reduced by increased use of safety belts and rollover protective structures, the agency stresses that a safe work space and appropriate training are vital to preventing injuries related to rollers.
