“Under the Health and Safety at work regulations 2016 – employers are required to take all reasonable steps to protect employees, adequate training is one of those steps. A Waikato farm was fined almost $250,000 for a fatal quad bike accident as the employee was deemed to be inadequately trained. I believe engaging ‘Ride Safe’ as industry experts to conduct staff training would be a wise, if not essential investment.”

“The local shop suggested Ride Safe and gave me their brochure. Our farm manager had done a course with Lachie and said it great, with learning opportunities for everyone from the new staff right through to the ones who have grown up on farms. Lachie trained 42 staff of our dairy staff on the Level 1 and 2 and made time to address some specific issues with machines and PPE choices. Great feedback from everyone – they actually enjoyed it!”

“We recommend Ride Safe to our clients and use them for our own staff training. Staff and client feedback has always been 100% positive and Ride Safe instructors have the specialist experience that means everyone gets value from their training and its not just a health and safety box ticked, they add alot of value. Farmers and business owners want training to provide some peace and mind and Ride Safe are the industry experts for off-road training.”
