Reversing is one of the most common causes of serious workplace transport accidents. Employers must organise workplaces so vehicles and pedestrians can move safely, and a trained banksman is a recognised control measure in HSE guidance HSG136. The course helps your business meet its legal requirements on site and reduces the risk of costly accidents.
Theory training covers the code of signals, danger areas and safe passage of vehicles. Practical training is undertaken in scenario-based situations so delegates practise guiding vehicles for real. Safe and Trained report that 95 per cent of learners describe the Banksman training as fun and informative.
