60% of quad bike fatalities occur when the quad bike rolls over. From 11 October, every general use quad bike must have an OPD integrated into its design to help avoid injury or death as a result of being crushed or pinned by the weight of the quad bike.

From October 2021, any Quad Bike sold must have an Operator Protection Device (OPD). If you are purchasing a quad bike, make sure it’s fitted with an OPD. Make sure you minimise the risk of injury and invest in a OPD for your Quad Bike.

🤔Why are policies and procedures necessary? Employers have a duty to provide adequate training, instruction & supervision with employees through a proper induction process. It ensures that new employees are aware of the rules & the standards of behaviour that is expected.

Vale Trevor Badger. We are so very sorry to hear of the tragic death of Trevor. He was a generous and positive person and a stalwart of the farming industry. Our thoughts are with the Badger family, the local community and the wider agriculture industry.

🚜Who's been bogged before?😅 The wet start to the season has been welcoming. Unfortunately the rain increases the chances of getting bogged! If you're unsure of the ground ahead, check it for yourself. If you get stuck, don't try to get out. It only makes the situation worse!
