Look a little further. The section you quoted above (4.2 FIRST Safety) begins with a
reference to the FRC Team Safety Manual. Starting on page 10 of that manual there is a detailed description of procedures teams should use when lifting, handling, and transporting the robot. The first bullet point there: ensure that all lifters are wearing PPE (safety glasses, gloves, etc.)
I agree recommendations are not the same thing as requirements. Teams should work safely because it is the smart way to play.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
