Suitable helmets cost between €50 and €100. Incoming regulations will see all quad bike users legally required to wear appropriate head protection at all times and undergo operator safety skills training. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has told the Irish Farmers Journal that the new rules are intended to come into effect later in 2021, following a final review by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The objective of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 is to help prevent fatal and serious injury arising from quad use. Quads accounted for 6% of all reported work-related fatal incidents involving vehicles in the 10-year period from 2010-2019.
