A one-day course where you’ll learn how to safely use and maintain a side by side, utility terrain vehicle (UTV) or buggy.
Side by side, utility terrain vehicle (UTV) and buggy are all names for side by side utility vehicles.
Side by side utility vehicles are commonly found on farms and many other enterprises. Some businesses are replacing quad bikes with side by side utility vehicles over safety concerns.
If you or your employees need to operate a side by side utility vehicle, this one-day course will show you how to safely use and maintain them. The course is suitable for beginners through to more experienced operators.
In this course, you will learn about pre-start checks, how to turn, swerve and make an emergency stop. You will learn how and when to use 4WD, low range and diff locks. You'll also gain experience in how to operate a side by side safely on a range of terrains, around obstacles and in different conditions.
You will learn how to load, secure and unload side by sides onto trailers or other vehicles used for transport.
You will also learn how to carry out side by side maintenance to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety requirements, manufacturer's specifications, operator manuals and sustainability practices.
All parts of the training are underpinned by work health and safety principles and legislative requirements.
On successful completion of this course, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment for the units completed.
