Sit In ATV Wednesday 20th July 2022
Location – Beech Hill Farm
Brief Description
Whether you are an experienced hand or just starting out, our course will steer you through all you will need to ride this modern-day work horse safely and expertly.
Training is a legal requirement. PUWER requires employers to provide adequate training and to ensure that ATVs are used only by employees who have received appropriate training in their safe use, including towed equipment and attachments. If you are self-employed, the Regulations still apply.
When used correctly, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or quad bikes are very versatile vehicles with a wide variety of uses, both for business and recreational operators. A range of attachments, including trailers, sprayers, and spreaders, make them even more flexible and effective business tools.
