Young people play an important role in helping to keep farms safe. This programme is suitable for all young people who may be around ATVs in the agriculture, amenity, forestry, industrial and horticulture sectors.
This e‑learning programme is designed for 13 to 15‑year‑olds, helping them understand the risks associated with ATVs on farms, recognise common hazards, follow safety rules and legal requirements, and make safe decisions when around ATVs.
Approximately 3 hours of online training will not provide a certificate to operate or ride an ATV. Instead, it aims to build strong safety awareness and support young people in recognising hazards and promoting safe practices around ATVs in farm environments. Topics covered include ATVs, Young Riders and the Law, Know Your Limits: Picking the Right ATV, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Understanding ATV Hazards, Why ATV Accidents Happen, Inspection and Reporting, Safe Decision-Making Around ATVs.
At the end of the course, candidates will complete 20 knowledge‑check questions. These must be completed to receive the certificate.
