Use of quad bikes. If the event organiser wishes to use quadbikes/ATVs, where no other vehicle is appropriate, the FLS Region has specific requirements for permitting their safe use. FLS also recognises the Forest Industry Safety Accord guide as a minimum standard for using such vehicles on the national forest estate. Quad bikes, powered or not, shall not be used by sled dog teams during competition runs. While sled dog competitors or event organisers may be authorised to use quad bikes for training purposes in the same or other FLS areas, such training permits do not authorise their use in connection with running, or competing in, an event; a specific permit is required for that specific event.
