ATV/UTV Safety
Our online ATV/UTV Safety course is crafted to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of safe practices for navigating ATVs and UTVs in both routine and dangerous situations.
ATVs and UTVs, also known as Off-highway vehicles (OHVs), are not just enjoyable recreational vehicles; they also serve as functional tools for tasks in rugged terrains. However, due to their recreational use, we often overlook their potential risks. These vehicles, given their distinctive structures and specific handling requirements, can pose significant threats to operators if they're not fully cognizant of the associated operating risks.
Through real-life demonstrations, illustrative diagrams, and interactive exercises, this online ATV/UTV Safety course offers you the essential knowledge to proficiently manage and control your OHV in a safe and effective manner. The course extensively covers common risks associated with OHV operation, appropriate hazard controls, key components of ATVs and UTVs, and optimal operation practices.
This course spans 1.5 technical hours.
