What is the role of a banksman?
Introduction:
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), circa 7 workers die each year as a result of accidents involving vehicles, mobile plant and equipment on construction sites. A role and duties of the vehicle banksman is to be in charge of directing the vehicular movements on a construction site. This includes building construction site, warehouse, and factory by using a system of hand signals or a radio link in order to prevent accidents and keep workers safe. The training will also ensure that any vehicular manoeuvres made during loading and unloading do not put the driver or other within the close vicinity in danger.
