What is vehicle marshal training?

Whatever the scale or purpose of a site, traffic management is a vital aspect of keeping everyone safe. By law, every construction site must make provisions to ensure the vehicles, workers and pedestrians using site routes can move around safely. That’s where the role of a vehicle marshal or banksman comes in.

A vehicle marshal or banksman uses their knowledge and skills to control traffic in, out and around the site. With the help of a vehicle marshal, sites can minimise accidents and incidents, with vehicles (including plant machinery), buildings, people and other obstacles able to be easily and safely negotiated.

With this in mind, our Vehicle Marshal/Banksman Train the Trainer course is a popular choice. Here we explain what you can expect from the syllabus and why training your trainer is integral to the safety of your wider workforce.
