The article mentions safety regulations and having worked around [not in] cranes in a previous life that was also my first thought. So I am curious about how the system handles safety for people other than the operator.

The VR system actually gives a wider field of view than what a person in a cabin can see, so the situational awareness is improved. But it's also an ideal first application - forestry cranes usually operate where there are no people around to begin with.
