Utility Safety In Depth: What Utilities & Contractors Need to Know About UTV & ATV Safety

Utility task vehicles (UTVs) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are becoming increasingly popular transportation options for lineworkers who need to traverse difficult terrain to access work sites. In this episode, Kate Wade talks to Ty Fenton of Safety One Training about what utility and contractor organizations should consider when purchasing, training on and using these vehicles.  This episode is an extension of “Building an ATV/UTV Training Program for Utilities and Contractors,” an article featured in the June-July 2021 issue of Incident Prevention magazine.
