 Off-road vehicles such as Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) and All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are essential tools that allow workers to move equipment, reach remote areas, and complete tasks efficiently where standard vehicles simply can't operate. However, these vehicles introduce unique hazards—their handling characteristics differ significantly from passenger vehicles, and unpredictable terrain like slopes, mud, loose gravel, and uneven ground can create dangerous situations even for experienced workers. This comprehensive course will teach you how to operate UTVs and ATVs safely by learning to identify hazards, interpret manufacturer guidelines, perform inspections, secure loads, and respond to emergencies. You'll also learn to protect yourself and your coworkers through proper communication, PPE use, and adherence to company policies.
