Quad safety webinar for farmers

Regulations governing the safe use of quad bikes in all workplaces came into effect last November.

Vehicles and machinery are involved in the highest number of farm fatalities in Ireland.

An online information webinar on quad safety will take place next week to encourage farmers to complete training courses. 

Hosted by the Irish Farmers' Association, topics covered on Tuesday, June 25, at 8pm, include: an overview of the quad safety training course; what farmers should consider before booking a course; background to new regulations; and key safety practices.
