Answer to Question 1

Operators should be encouraged to stay with the equipment during a rollover. Their chances of being injured are greater when they try to jump off a piece of equipment that is rolling over. In addition to providing ROPS, contractors should provide overhead protection to prevent materials from falling through the ROPS and injuring the operator.

Answer to Question 2

The purpose of ROPS is to keep the operator of the equipment in question from being crushed should the equipment roll over. Because even the best ROPS cannot protect operators who are thrown out of the cab during a rollover, construction professionals should insist on the use of seat belts.
