2013-04-07 UTV Safety

Announcement
Course Name: UTV (side-by-side) Safety

Description: The Canada Safety Council has a new UTV Driver's Course available. This course is 5-1/2 to 7 hour training program operated by CSC certified instructors. The curriculum is based on field-tested techniques. A UTV is designed to be a safe vehicle when used as intended.

Recognizing your own capabilities and limitations is also a very important factor for the safe operation of your UTV.
