Ride-on vehicles (also known as four wheel motorbikes and quad bikes) are commonplace on farms. However each year, on average, there are 15 fatalities associated with using ride-on vehicles in the Australian rural industry sector.
These statistics are alarming and as a result Workplace Standards Tasmania has adopted a policy of zero tolerance for breaches of duty of care responsibilities with regards to ride-on vehicles.
