Survey about Quadbikes and Chemicals

The Quadbike Spraying and Injury Surveillance Project (QuadSIS) aims to help researchers understand:

• The extent to which quadbikes are used for spraying on the farm.
• The types of agrichemicals applied using quadbikes.
• Whether spraying on a quadbike creates increased risks that may lead to injury.

Participation in the QuadSIS project will help inform more targeted education into how farmers can use their quadbike to safely apply agrichemicals without putting their health and safety at risk.
