This course, will cover common vehicle reversing accidents and the crucial role played by the banksman. It'll also look at the controls and actions that can reduce the likelihood of such accidents. The course will start by identifying the three main categories of reversing accidents - injuries to pedestrians, damage to objects in the workplace and damage to street furniture along with coverage of other types of accidents.
You'll learn about the role of management in preventing reversing accidents, particularly the use of risk assessments and Safe Systems of Work, plus the provision of appropriate Personal Protection Equipment.
You'll get an overview of the main legislation applying to banksmens' activities, before examining the actual role and the duties of banksmen on site, including safety rules, controls and guidelines. The rules applying to drivers will also be covered, and we'll look at the way drivers and banksmen can work together safely.
Finally, we'll cover vehicle hazard safety checks and the industry-standard hand and verbal signals that banksmen can use during vehicle manoeuvres.
This course is aimed at those in construction or heavy industry that are responsible for the movement of vehicles. This could include site supervisors or managers.
Understanding why problems occur and having the tools to solve common problems quickly will ensure work runs smoothly.
For those needing further safety in construction training, courses such as Asbestos Awareness, Noise Awareness and Working at Height should be completed alongside this one. For Supervisors that want to continue to enhance their skills, courses such as Introduction to Risk Assessment or Leadership Skills would make great next steps.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.

For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
