ATV Roles and Responsibilities

Environmental Health & Safety

Environmental Health & Safety is responsible for developing guidelines for  ATVs. This involves:

• Providing general information regarding the associated hazards and general safe work practices of ATVs;
• Providing technical assistance to university personnel; and 
• Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the program on a periodic basis.

Departments

Departments are expected to maintain a safe and healthy living, learning, and working environment for faculty, staff, students, and visitors to our campus. Departments must ensure equipment provided is of a safe design and in good condition.

Supervisors must ensure that specific operational training is provided to potential operators, and that pertinent sections of the owner's manual (i.e. safety, limitations, proper operation, maintenance, and inspection) have been reviewed by each operator prior to use.

Employees

Employees are expected to comply with university policies and programs, review the owner's manual for the ATV to be operated, wear any required personal protective equipment, and operate the equipment in a safe and responsible manner.
