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. The key to safe operation is YOUR knowledge of the vehicle; recognizing and accepting it as a motorized vehicle; respecting its capabilities and its limitations; varying operating conditions; good judgement and courtesy. Recognizing your own capabilities and limitations is also a very important factor for the safe operation of your UTV.
