ATV - All Terrain Vehicle Safety

Whether an all terrain vehicle (ATV) is used in an industrial (workplace) environment or for recreational purposes, safe-riding practices must be followed.

Four factors that must be taken into account when operating

an ATV are:

• Personal ability of the rider
• Planned task or job
• Size and capability of the ATV
• And the environmental and terrain conditions under which the operation will take place

The All Terrain Vehicle Rider Course is a one-day program designed to train the operator in the safe and efficient use of an all terrain vehicle. The course includes both classroom and practical training, with the greatest emphasis on operational skills. The following are some of the topics covered:

• Safe riding practices and strategies
