ATVs have a number of uses in agricultural settings, such as inspecting and repairing fence lines and irrigation systems, supervising field crews, inspecting crops, and herding livestock, and it is essential that all agricultural workers who use ATVs understand the proper safety precautions for their use.

Here are some ATV safety tips courtesy of the National Farmers Union (NFU):
  • Children under 12 years of age should not operate an ATV with an engine-size above 70cc, and children under 16 should not operate an ATV with an engine over 90cc.
  • Passengers are not recommended on ATVs, as the operator must be able to shift his/her weight and position in order to properly control the ATV.
  • Lights, reflectors, and visible flags are recommended to increase the ATV’s visibility.
  • Helmets are always strongly recommended, even in rural areas where traffic is scarce.
  • Try to avoid paved surfaces wherever possible, as they can reduce the operator’s ability to handle and control the ATV and sudden losses of control are rather common.
  • Always exercise caution and never move at speeds or in terrains beyond your level of experience. Attempting stunts and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is always discouraged.
