The new Amazon Rivian EDV vans lack passenger-side airbags. Amazon is requiring Driver Trainers to sit in the passenger "jump seat" for 3+ hours a day for on-the-road training tests. The government requires front airbags for both the driver & passenger, yet Amazon is requiring Driver Trainers to sit in a seat without proper safety protections. The van also has a blue metal pole in front of the passenger seat that people could hit their heads on, and there is a hard surface behind the head that could be hit during whiplash. If the government requires front airbags, how can Amazon require it's employees to sit a vehicle without them? The official Rivian EDV operating guide PDF is attached here which confirms the lack of passenger-side safety features & airbags. Amazon claims that safety is their #1 priority, yet they are not providing basic safety for their Driver Trainers.
