Banksman

Vehicle Banksman is entrusted and trained to supervise, control and direct all vehicle movement on site, in particular the action of reversing to prevent unwanted collisions or accidents.

They’re the eyes and ears on site, skilfully guiding a range of vehicles and heavy plant into operational areas around site using a variety of hand signals and positional awareness to assist vehicle operators when manoeuvring around blind spots, tight confined spaces and busy work areas.

But they do much more than just guide large vehicles, they’ll also police site rules enforcing key segregated routes for people and plant/vehicles and maintain access for workers and visitors onto site.
