When riding in the rig, you are expected to ___.

Providing visual support to the driver is crucial for safe operation of the vehicle during emergency responses. When riding in the rig, especially in situations where visibility may be limited or conditions are challenging, one team member’s responsibility is to assist the driver by monitoring the surroundings and alerting them to potential hazards. This practice enhances communication within the team and ensures that the driver can focus on navigating safely while being aware of external factors that could affect the response.

Engaging in unrelated activities, such as answering personal calls, making social media content, or taking a nap, can distract from the critical responsibilities required during transport to an emergency scene. Maintaining readiness and vigilance is essential, making visual support a key expectation of the role when in the rig.
