SECTION 1.0 // INTRODUCTION This publication identifies potential hazards of riding a two-wheeled motorbike and gives practical advice on how to reduce and prevent accidents on farms. 1.1 PURPOSE WorkSafe NZ accepts the recommendations in this guide as current industry best practice. They will help you comply with the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 (the HSE Act). A lot of on-farm injuries involve two-wheeled bikes. The common causes are: > > not riding to the conditions > > not paying attention to the terrain > > inexperience. 1.3 DEVELOPMENT Industry experts helped WorkSafe NZ develop this guide. WorkSafe NZ also conducted a thorough review of accident statistics and published academic literature, and looked at how overseas health and safety regulators manage the same issues. WorkSafe NZ has taken every effort to make sure the guide’s recommended hazard controls reflect current best practice. 1.2 SCOPE This guide applies to farmers, farm employers, farm employees, contractors (and those who hire them – principals), health and safety advisers, representatives and consultants – anyone riding a two-wheeled motorbike on a farm. 5
