This safety information is intended to provide the controlling party with basic safe-
ty information and to encourage the controlling party to implement a vehicle safety 
program.

Safety Survey

The controlling party should perform a safety survey periodically, and as condi-
tions warrant to their premises, to identify areas where the vehicle should not be 
operated and to identify possible hazards.

Wet and Loose Terrain

Wet grassy areas and loose terrain may cause a vehicle to lose traction and may af-
fect stability. Wet areas and loose terrain should be chained or roped off to prevent 
vehicle operations or be identified by a suitable warning not to operate the vehicle 
in this area due to wet and loose terrain.

Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridges

Sharp turns, blind spots, bridges and other potentially hazardous areas should be 
either chained or roped off to prevent vehicle operations or identified with a suit-
able warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating the proper 
precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.

Vehicle /Pedestrian Interference Areas

Areas where pedestrians and the vehicle interfere should be avoided whenever 
possible by rerouting the vehicle traffic or the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the 
interference. If elimination of the interference is not possible or is highly impracti-
cal, signs should be erected warning pedestrians of the vehicle traffic and vehicle 
operators of the pedestrian traffic and to drive slowly and use extreme caution.

Preventative Maintenance

The vehicle may become hazardous if maintenance is neglected or improperly 
performed. Therefore maintenance facilities, trained personnel and procedures in 
accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations should be provided by the 
controlling party.

A regularly scheduled inspection and preventive maintenance program in accor-
dance with the manufacturer’s recommendations should be established. Only 
qualified, trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to inspect, adjust 
and maintain the vehicle.

Only STAR EV replacement parts and materials should be used.
