All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Safety

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

The ATV Rider Student and Instructor courses are nationally recognized programs developed by the Canada Safety Council, for the benefit of both industrial and recreational ATV operators. Completion of this course has become mandatory in many major companies for employees and sub-contracted personnel who use an ATV on the job site.

We also do custom corporate training of employees –we can bring our course to your site. All students must provide their own mechanically sound ATV and appropriate riding gear.

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.
