Checking tyre pressure on quad bikes should be a fundamental health and safety process, says WorkSafe New Zealand.
Harm resulting from quad bikes continues to be a serious issue in New Zealand. There have been 75 fatalities across the country since 2006. A further 614 people have been seriously injured.
The reminder comes after a fatality on Tui Glen Farms in Wharepuhunga in the Waikato in January 2020.
An experienced employee was fatally injured when the quad bike they were riding with their dog rolled on a steeply sloping area of the farm. The victim was found pinned underneath the bike.
It also found the staff member had not been trained and instructed on how to check and maintain tyre pressure. “Planning on the farm needed to include a more comprehensive system for checking the quad bikes tyre pressure,” WorkSafe area investigation manager Paul West said. Checking tyre pressure on quad bikes should be a fundamental health and safety process, West said. He strongly recommended farmers consider what vehicles were best suited for the different roles and terrain on their farms. WorkSafe recommended businesses consider installing crush protection devices (CPDs) on the back of quad bikes and they were currently working with ACC on a cash back offer on CPDs.
