We started a large Army Corp of Engineers Job, were they would not allow “ATV’s”. That is when we started to purchase the Rhino’s. At this time we have had no incidents or issue concerning them and our insurance company are happy with the change!
As far as employees supplying their own ATV’s: I would check with you insurance provider, but I’m sure they tell you it a HIGH liability for you which means them too!
I would recommend against personally owed ATV’s used on the job period!
Good Luck

What does your insurance company say about the use of the 4 wheeler on your project? If you are self insured to a certain cap you should inform upper management about the use of this vehicle on site and let them maek the decision. No matter how careful or great the super is. If he has an accident and is seriously hurt your company is liable.
I strongly suggest you do not let him use the vehicle on site.
If the guy using the 4 wheeler has the appropriate training, insurance and safety equipment, I would not let them use it on one of my sites.
I have had problems with this in the past and the best solution is to inform management of the exposure and their liability.
Hope you have good luck with this and remember that the compentent person must have the "authority to correct hazards.
