Choosing the safest vehicle for the job
Quad bikes have become a popular vehicle on farms, but they are also the leading cause of fatalities on Australian farming properties. The majority of injuries result from sideways, backward and forward rollovers, trapping or crushing the driver underneath. Consider whether a quad bike is the most suitable vehicle for the task. A side-by-side, ute or tractor may be more suitable for some tasks.
