Vehicle Banksman
This course equips delegates with the knowledge and practical skills to safely guide and direct vehicles during reversing and manoeuvring operations. Vehicle banksmen play a vital role in preventing accidents and protecting both drivers and pedestrians in busy or restricted areas.
Delivered in Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham, the wider South Yorkshire area, and across the UK, the training ensures delegates can implement safe systems of work, effective signalling, and clear communication, reducing the risk of incidents in any workplace environment.
The course not only focuses on practical skills but also emphasises workplace transport safety, hazard awareness, and compliance with relevant legislation, giving delegates the confidence to manage vehicle movements safely and efficiently.
