Like other machines, golf cars can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. This section contains broad safety practices recommended for safe golf car operations. Before operation, the controlling party should establish such additional specific safety practices as may be reasonably required for safe operations.
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 warnings affixed to every golf car. The safe 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.
