Common hazards on farms If you work on a farm, it's important to learn about the common hazards and how to work safely.

Eight percent of young people aged between 15 and 19, and over 5% of young people aged between 20 and 24 who are working, work on farms.

In this lesson your going to look at the ATV, its dangers, how to ride safely
ATV (All-Terrain Vehicles) Farm ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) look easy to use and fun but these machines are unforgiving if the rider makes a mistake. An ATV is not a toy! ATV accidents have caused many deaths and injuries on farms - and not just too young people. What is often not realised is the degree of physical strength needed to operate an ATV safely. As a general rule, a person under the age of 15 lacks the physical strength and size to control the machine properly. No one under the age of 12 is permitted to drive a farm ATV. ATVs have handling characteristics that are different from a motor cycle or tractor. You need practical training in the special driving techniques, and your use should be supervised by a parent or employer. Examples of ATV hazards: 1 2 3 4 5 How can ATV hazards be reduced?
