Utility Cart Training

Utility Cart Definition Utility carts are defined as small size, unlicensed, utility or service carts. This includes, but is not limited to golf carts, "Gators", ATV's, 4-wheeler ATV's and “utility carts”.

Types of Utility Carts Golf Carts Club Cars Gators 4-Wheeler/ATV’s Toro Workman

Utility Cart Requirements Under the Colorado Revised Statue section all utility carts are required to be equipped with at least one lamp displaying a white light on the front of the vehicle, visible from a distance of no less than five hundred feet to the front of the vehicle. They are also required to be equipped with at least one orange beacon light that is visible on the top or back of the utility cart from a distance of no less than five hundred feet to the back of the vehicle. These lights are required to be used at all times on all carts operating from dusk until dawn (nighttime operations).

UTILITY CARTS ROLL EASIER HAVE A LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY SOME CARTS AREN’T EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELTS, HORNS, BREAK LIGHTS, OR TURN SIGNALS CARS ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY IN A COLLISION CARTS ALWAYS LOSE! Why are carts different than cars?

Where are you driving… The streets on campus The sidewalks on campus The parking lots The streets surrounding the campus 5 mph speed limit on campus

UNC Procedure Use of Service Carts Applies to ALL operators of service carts on UNC Campus- electric or gas powered ALL users must have a current/valid driver’s license in possession ALL operators must sign a driver’s license certification form prior to ANY cart operation

UNC Procedure Use of Service Carts, con’t. ALL employees operating carts must adhere to all applicable vehicle and traffic laws Employees are responsible for understanding and complying with the service cart policy, and the State Owned Vehicle policy

Utility Cart Danger According to the consumer products safety commission, there are approximately 15,000 utility cart related injuries in the US each year Occupant ejections and roll overs are the most common accidents

Pre-Trip Inspection Proper tire inflation, cuts or punctures on the tires, proper steering ALWAYS look behind cart BEFORE getting aboard! After loading, are all 4 wheels still touching the ground? Is the warning signal light working? Is the reverse warning signal audible (If applicable)?

Night Driving If using the cart at night, does it have working headlights? What about the back lights? Take extra care and be cautious, carts are not high profile vehicles – pedestrians may not see, or HEAR you coming. If you notice something not working properly, report malfunctions to your supervisor IMMEDIATELY upon discovery.

Safety Cart Guidelines USE CART ROUTES ONLY DON’T FORGET THAT YOU HAVE TO FIT IN WITH WHATEVER YOU’RE HAULING SUDDEN STOPS OR CHANGES IN DIRECTION MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL KEEP HANDS AND FEET INSIDE AT ALL TIMES WHEN CART IS MOVING

More Safety Guidelines Avoid tipping over – drive straight up or down a slope Always remain seated Slow down before and during turns Reduce speed, use extra care in inclement weather

Just plain common sense… Always tie-down your load Always set your brake once you get to your destination

When in doubt, ask… ABOUT LOAD CAPACITY ABOUT OPERATING PROCEDURES ABOUT MAINTENANCE RECORDS

OK, what about a car, truck, or van? You must wear seat belts – it is a UNC safety rule, AND a state law. NO SMOKING – period. In ANY utility cart.

Should you be driving? Are you tired, upset, fatigued, ill? Did you ‘celebrate’ at lunch? Are you taking prescription or over-the-counter medication?

What about… Driving a mower, tractor or sweeper – all traffic rules and laws still apply; You must obey traffic signs and signals Pedestrians have the right-of- way You must obey campus speed limits

Whatever you drive… Do a pre-trip check Review how the utility cart operates BEFORE you turn it on If it needs fixing, DON’T use it until it’s fixed! If you are unfamiliar with where you are going… CHECK THE ROUTE MAP

After all… The whole idea is to get your job done without endangering either yourself or others! Be safe!
