Description
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Banksmen – also known as Traffic Marshals – are operatives trained to direct vehicle and plant movement on or around sites. They play a vital role in preventing accidents, managing site logistics, and ensuring the smooth movement of vehicles and pedestrians in high-risk environments such as construction sites, warehouses, parking facilities, events, and industrial areas. Nearly a quarter of all workplace vehicle deaths occur during reversing. Most of these accidents can be avoided by employing a trained Traffic Marshal to implement effective safety precautions.
Our Online Traffic Marshal Course, delivered by High Aims Training, provides the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to perform the role safely and effectively. The course follows the HSE Health and Safety (Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, ensuring training meets legal obligations and industry standards. Upon completion, learners gain an industry-recognized Level 2 Award in Traffic Marshal / Banksman Training, valid for 3 years.
