Quad Bike Information:
The Quad Bike - Operation of Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 14 page procedure.
Quad bikes or All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) can be dangerous and can easily roll over. Each year, more than 12 Australians are killed in ATV incidents, many of these are children. The term "All Terrain Vehicle" can be misleading, as these vehicles do have limitations and CANNOT be operated on all terrain – such as slippery surfaces, steep slopes etc. The manufacturer's operating manual MUST be read before any person operates an ATV. Persons under 16, or persons with a small frame, should not operate industrial sized ATVs.
A working party has been established to investigate suitability of installing Roll Over Protection (ROPs) and operator restraints on ATVs.
The Quad Bike Safe Work Method Statement is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.
The Quad Bike Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for tool box talks or tender applications.
Planning:
Ensure ATV is suitable for task:
- Load capacity
- Weight of load
- Location of load
- Attachment weight
- Weight of operator
- Type of towed items required (eg: spray tank)
- Type of terrain
- Slippery surface, steep slopes, hilly surface
- Rocky, muddy, sandy, water present
- Glare
- Fencing (can be hard to see, limit space)
- Level of operator experience
Consider use of other more suitable equipment (such as small tractor or utility) wherever possible.
Inspect intended travel paths. Plan route to eliminate danger areas, such as:
- Rocky areas / steep slopes
- River /creek crossings
- Pavement / roads
- Overhead branches
- Long grass that could hide stumps, root systems, animal burrows, fencing etc
