SBSUV – Side By Side Utility Vehicle

Each student must provide their own side by side, all appropriate PPE and fuel.

The primary purpose of this training is for students to learn the operational limits of the equipment.  During the course students will undergo de-briefing sessions for each of the operational exercises they complete.  This de-briefing allows the students to discuss among themselves what they discovered about the operational limits of these units.

REMEMBER:

It remains the responsibility of the employer and the employee to make sure they are completely familiar with all specific safety and operational aspects of their SBSUV unit.

Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Understand OH&S regulations
