Golf Cart / Mini-Truck / Utility Vehicle
Operator Safety Training

There are many differences between how you operate a car verses how you operate a utility cart. One of the major things to consider when operating you’re a cart is the number of pedestrians that come in contact with a cart throughout a shift. The number is considerably more than if you were driving a full sized car or truck. Another thing to consider is that carts wheels roll very easily. Most of the carts and other utility vehicles are you will be driving are electric, and as such usually do not make any noise while in motion. Many vehicles are used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore it is impossible to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur.

Why should you do training? Well, OSHA records a summary of investigation results of accidents involving powered utility vehicles that result in fatalities, catastrophes, amputations, and hospitalizations of two or more days, and those accidents that have received significant publicity or involved extensive property damage. In 2005 there were 208 accidents resulting in 147 fatalities, 115 serious injuries, and 34 "non-serious" injuries. But through common sense and prudent driving practices, we hope to prevent accidents and injuries before they happen by giving each participant the knowledge needed to avoid these ricks.
