Why Is Banksman and Traffic Marshal Training Important?

There are about 5,000 accidents involving workplace transport every year. About 50 of these are fatal, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Furthermore, last year alone, over 20 workers died after being struck by a moving vehicle.

To prevent these accidents, employers must appoint competent banksmen/traffic marshals to direct vehicles on site, manage the flow of traffic and ensure safe manoeuvring.

This Banksman and Traffic Marshal Training course provides comprehensive guidance on the risks, control measures and legal requirements for directing work vehicles. Users will understand how to fulfil the role of a banksman/traffic marshal and ensure safe, compliant vehicle operations.

A banksman is responsible for the safe direction and operation of vehicles and machinery in construction sites, warehouses, ports or loading docks. Their primary role is to prevent accidents by guiding drivers/operators and helping them navigate obstacles safely.

While both roles help guide equipment and vehicle operators, a banksman focuses on directing vehicle movement on the ground, whereas a signaller typically directs lifting operations.

This banksman course exclusively focuses on ground-level coordination and safety, but slinger signallers can benefit from understanding a banksman’s role and skillset.
