WorkSafe is warning people to ensure their vehicle's safety features are working after a woman was ejected from a farm vehicle and killed in Nelson.
The woman was ejected from a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV), commonly referred to as a side -by-side.
The side-by-side's passenger seatbelt did not work and the driver's door had been removed.
Owners of a beef, sheep and deer farm, N.E. Parkes & Sons Limited, appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday, and were fined $275,000 for failing to ensure the farm vehicle was safe for use.
