General Info

Why do we need Motorized Cart Safety Training?

All motorized carts must be operated safely on University property to reduce accidents, incidents, and injuries related to the operation of motorized carts. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) is responsible for providing ongoing education and resources related to the safe operation of motorized carts. EH&S has put together:

• an online training certification course;
• Operating Procedures; and 
• an Annual Inspection Procedure
• UWF Motorized Cart Acknowledgment Form

Who needs training? How often?

All UWF employees that have the potential to operate a motorized cart must complete the Motorized Cart Training once. Training must be completed before operating a motorized cart on UWF property.

Each year, employees must complete and sign the UWF Motorized Cart Safety Acknowledgment Form
