🚧 Traffic Marshal (Banksman) Training Course – Enhance Workplace Safety

Boost your employability with our comprehensive half-day Traffic Marshal (Banksman) training course. This course is designed for individuals responsible for directing vehicle movements on construction sites, warehouses, and other environments where vehicle and pedestrian safety is paramount.​

🛠️ What Is a Traffic Marshal (Banksman)?

A Traffic Marshal, also known as a Banksman, is a trained operative who directs vehicle movements on or around a site. Their role is crucial in preventing accidents, especially during reversing maneuvers. While segregation is the preferred control measure, Banksmen are employed when other safety measures are not feasible.​

⚠️ Why Is Traffic Marshal Training Essential?

Nearly a quarter of all workplace vehicle-related fatalities occur during reversing operations. Many of these incidents result in costly damage to vehicles, equipment, and premises. Proper training can significantly reduce these risks by ensuring safe vehicle operations and effective communication between drivers and site personnel.​
