Hush
Farms are specialists in off-road 4x4 driving training, delivering LANTRA accredited off-road training courses in Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wales and nationally – meeting HSE regulations for workplace use of 4x4s.
Out of 42 fatal injuries on UK farms in 2010-11, 15 of them were caused by overturning vehicles or by people being struck by a moving vehicle.
The legal bit: No matter how experienced you are, the law requires you to have proof of adequate training from a qualified person if you use a 4x4 in the workplace. This legislation applies whether you're a volunteer, employed or self-employed.
We
have a network of LANTRA approved 4x4 off-road course sites around the UK, so you
can either come to our sites in Devon and Wales for your 4x4 off road training, or we’ll come nearer to you. Our 4x4 driver training
can be tailored to your specific needs, for 4x4 drivers of all levels, so can
include bespoke elements too – from tackling a steep incline, to manoeuvring in
thick mud.
Our industry experience
includes working with public and private sectors, government organisations
and wildlife trusts. All of our instructors have lengthy experience of
working with 4x4 off-road vehicles, in the toughest of terrains, and are
qualified to the professional standards set out by LANTRA and NPTC.
