Health and Safety, Plant & Machinery
This course has been developed to provide learners with the knowledge, practical skills and operational competence required to safely direct, guide and control the movement of vehicles, plant and machinery within workplace environments. The programme supports organisations operating within construction, agriculture, utilities, logistics, waste management, highways, industrial and operational sectors where reversing operations, restricted manoeuvring areas and workplace transport movements present significant risks to personnel, property and operational safety.
The role of the banksman is safety-critical and requires effective communication, hazard awareness, situational judgement and the ability to implement safe systems of work during manoeuvring activities. Incorrect signalling, ineffective positioning, poor communication or failure to control exclusion zones may result in serious injury, fatality, property damage or operational disruption.
This course therefore focuses on the development of safe operational behaviours, recognised communication methods and practical workplace competence.
