Training for vehicle banksmen and traffic marshals — directing reversing and manoeuvring vehicles safely. A short, practical in-company course, delivered UK-wide.
Vehicle banksman training is delivered in-company — train a whole team together in a single short session.
Vehicle banksman training prepares staff to direct reversing and manoeuvring vehicles safely — the traffic marshal role. It covers recognised signals, safe positioning and managing the risks of workplace transport, and is delivered in-company with a KeyOstas certificate of attendance.
Workplace transport — especially reversing vehicles — is one of the biggest causes of serious workplace injury. A trained vehicle banksman directs vehicles safely and keeps pedestrians clear. The course follows HSE workplace-transport guidance and covers signals, safe positioning, blind spots and safe systems of work. It is a short, practical course delivered in-company. Note: this is the vehicle marshalling role — for crane-lift banksman duties see slinger signaller training.
This is the vehicle marshalling role. If you need crane-lift signalling, a different course applies.
By the end of the session your banksmen will be able to direct vehicles safely and confidently.

Stand where the driver can see you and you are clear of the vehicle path.
