ATV(all terrain vehicle) Rider Course, UTV(utility terrain vehicle) Driver Course

The Canada Safety Council (CSC) offers ATV and UTV RiderCourses aimed at enhancing rider safety training and practical skills. These courses help participants gain a deeper understanding of their own abilities as well as the capabilities of their ATV or UTV. Through hands-on training, the importance of keeping the machine rider-active is emphasized—highlighting how the rider’s body position and actions are crucial for safe operation. Additionally, the course introduces essential strategies for identifying potential hazards and managing risks effectively, ensuring that every ride—whether for work or recreation—is safer and more controlled. The CSC also provides a comprehensive snowmobile safety program, further promoting safety awareness among all riders.

SNOWMOBILE

The BC Snowmobile Federation SledSafe Program is designed to help riders in industrial and work settings operate snowmobiles safely and responsibly. This comprehensive snowmobile safety program covers essential skills for handling sleds in various conditions, understanding safe travel practices, and recognizing potential hazards on the job site. By integrating Canada Safety Council guidelines, the program equips workers with the knowledge and confidence they need to engage in effective rider safety training while prioritizing safety in remote and challenging environments.

INFORMATION

Location


Although based in Quesnel, I am mobile and can come to you. Classes will be held in a space that will accommodate the size of the class, not exceeding 8 students in number. This rider safety training is designed to ensure participants are well-prepared for their off-road adventures.


Insurance Requirements


If you operate an ORV (off-road vehicle) on or across highways, you're required to obtain ICBC’s Basic Insurance. If you operate an ORV on forest service roads, you'll need $200,000 in third-party liability insurance. This may be obtained from ICBC or other insurers. For all other Crown land, liability insurance is voluntary but strongly recommended, especially for those participating in the Canada Safety Council endorsed programs.


Gearing Up


A DOT certified helmet in good working condition is required to take part in this course. You will also be asked to wear proper clothing and be prepared for any weather situation. Bug spray and sunscreen may be needed for your comfort. You are responsible for your meals and drinks (absolutely no alcohol). Please let us know of any medical conditions prior to the course to ensure your safety.
