This Banksman Essentials Training course aims to help reduce the risk of accidents occurring when carrying out large vehicle manoeuvres. The course provides demonstrations of the signals that are used by banksman (or traffic marshal) throughout the UK and Europe and helps your organisation work towards legislative compliance.
About Our Course
A vehicle banksman is a person who is in charge of directing the movements of large vehicles on a site by using a system of hand signals or a radio link in order to reduce the risk of these accidents occurring. A banksman makes sure that any manoeuvres made during loading and unloading will not put the driver, or anyone else, in danger.
Most of these accidents can be avoided by taking simple precautions, which we explain in detail throughout this training course.
Designed for everybody involved in manoeuvring, loading and unloading vehicles, our Bankman Essentials Training Course teaches the user how to safely guide large goods vehicles, both rigid and articulated, using the HSE's approved code of signals.
This online course does not replace the practical training you need, nor does it mean you’ll be classed as ‘competent’ by your employer - but - it does offer two important things. First, it provides you with vital tools and information if someone is new to banksman operations; and secondly, it acts as a refresher for anyone with existing experience who needs a reminder of the essentials.
