ATV – Sit-in Skid Steer
Accreditation: Lantra Awards | Duration: 1 to 2 days (depending on experience)
Course Description
Sit-in Skid Steer All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are incredibly versatile tools, popular and well-used across agricultural businesses. They can master many off-road conditions, but without proper training they are only as capable as the operator. This course will develop your driving skills, enabling you to use a tracked or wheeled Sit-in Skid Steer ATV safely and with confidence, covering the fundamentals of loading and key health and safety requirements. Learning outcomes include: complying with legal requirements with an emphasis on safe practice; identifying the risks associated with ATV use; selecting and using appropriate PPE; understanding the main causes of accidents; identifying the controls and components; carrying out daily checks; performing pre-start checks; identifying and reporting faults; carrying out an on-site risk assessment; identifying track profile and weight transfer; loading and unloading the machine from a trailer or lorry; and operating the ATV safely on a variety of terrain. Assessed certificated options are available including for carrying loads. A one-day course is recommended for experienced learners; novice operators should allow two days. This course is recognised by the HSE. On successful completion you will receive a Lantra Awards certificate of training.
