CPD Approved Banksman Training
The course starts with the three main categories of reversing accident: injuries to pedestrians, damage to objects in the workplace, and damage to street furniture, along with other types of accident.

From there it gives an overview of the main legislation, then the banksman’s own duties on site: the safety rules, controls and guidelines to follow. It also covers the rules for drivers and how drivers and banksmen work together safely, before finishing with vehicle hazard checks and the standard hand and verbal signals.
