ATV/UTV Safety
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs) are powerful tools for both work and recreation. They’re often used in forestry, construction, agriculture, and remote field operations to access rugged terrain. However, their versatility can also make them hazardous if not operated with proper training and awareness.
The ATV & UTV Operator Safety Course equips riders with the essential knowledge and safe practices needed to confidently operate off-highway vehicles (OHVs). Learners will explore how to assess terrain, manage risk, perform inspections, and apply responsible riding habits that reduce the chance of injury or equipment damage.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or new to off-road vehicles, this course helps you stay safe and compliant while getting the job done efficiently.
