Banksman Training

We Provide Onsite BanksmanTraining

In locations where reversing cannot be avoided employers should consider upskilling members of their team so that they have a trained signaller (a banksman) within the workplace, both to keep the reversing area free of pedestrians and to guide drivers.

Cameras, sensors, and alarms are all beneficial for reducing reversing incidents, but nothing can take the place of well-trained Banksmen or Reversing Assistants.
