A banksman—also called a vehicle marshal, traffic marshal, signaller or reversing assistant—observes the manoeuvring area, communicates with the driver and helps identify hazards that may not be visible from the driving position.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe training is designed to improve hazard awareness, communication and decision-making during reversing, positioning, loading-area access and other controlled movements. It also explains an important safety principle: a banksman should not be treated as a substitute for safer site design, vehicle–pedestrian segregation or the elimination of unnecessary reversing. Where a risk assessment determines that a banksman is needed, the person should be trained, authorised, clearly visible and supported by an agreed safe system of work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis online course provides theoretical awareness and assessment preparation.
