SAFETY INFORMATION
Experience has shown that golf cars which comply with the provisions stated in part II of this standard are
safe when properly operated in accordance with the safety and operation is enhanced when the golf cars are
operated within a specific set of operation instructions, safety rules and practices established to meet actual
operating terrain and conditions.
The safety information contained in part II is intended to provide the controlling party with basic safety
information and to encourage the controlling party to implement a golf car safety program.
It is suggested and recommended that Part II be reprinted in the golf car manufacturer's operation and service
manuals to encourage safe operations and practices at the controlling party's facility.
Safety Survey
The controlling party shall perform a safety survey periodically, and as conditions warrant to their premises,
to identify areas where golf cars should not be operated and to identify possible hazards.
Wet area and Loose Terrain or icy terrain
Wet grassy areas and loose terrain may cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas and
loose terrain shall be chained or roped off to prevent golf car operations or be identified by a suitable warning
not to operate golf cars in this area due to wet and loose terrain.
Extreme caution should be used when driving on wet or icy terrain. Wet grassy areas or ice may cause a golf
car to lose traction and may affect operator control. Wet or icy areas should be chained or roped off to
prevent golf car operations or be identified by a suitable warning to operators not to operate golf cars in that
area.
Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches
Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall be either chained or
roped off to prevent golf car operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of
the hazard and stating the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard. All turns shall be negotiated at a
reduced speed.
Grades
All grades shall be descended at a reduced speed. Excessive speed while descending grades adversely affects
the stability of the golf car and its ability to stop. In areas where steep grades exist, golf car operations should
be restricted to designated golf car paths and roads where possible. Steep grades shall be identified with a
suitable warning giving the following information: "Warning, steep hill, apply brake to limit speed."
Avoid parking on steep hills. Avoid sharp turns on grades. Provide flat surface parking areas adjacent to golf
car paths on steep grades.
Golf Car/Pedestrian Interference Areas
Areas where pedestrians and golf cars interfere shall be avoided whenever possible by rerouting the golf car
traffic or the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. If elimination of the interference is not possible
or is highly impractical, signs shall be erected warning pedestrians of the golf car traffic and golf car
operators of the pedestrian traffic and to drive slowly and use extreme caution.
