Operating large vehicles in confined spaces or high-risk areas can be particularly challenging.
Accidents, such as heavy machinery colliding with buildings, infrastructure, or even people, can lead to significant problems that businesses are eager to avoid.
To address this, we offer an online Banksman / Traffic Marshall course designed to advise the candidate as to the dangers involved in moving plant machinery, and how best to assist in guiding large vehicles in these environments.
This course equips participants with an understanding of complex manoeuvres in workplaces, reviews relevant legislation, and provides the essential tools and skills needed to assist vehicle operators.
It also builds confidence in using the visual and audible signals commonly employed in the haulage industry to ensure safe and efficient vehicle movement.
