Banksman

The banksman course is for employees who act as yard banksman.

Banksman courses are designed to give banksman candidates a better understanding of safe guiding and signaling techniques for vehicle and plant movements.

Normally a banksman course is a one day course (refresher) depending on the number of candidates. We limit 5 banksman candidates maximum to a course.

Note that the banksman course takes place at the workplace so as to be relevant to the employee.

Through the course,

•  staff are made aware of dangers, hazards and safety related issues,
•  correct and effective signals are learned during the banksman course,
•  safe working practice is given and encouraged in all banksman courses.

A nationally recognised certificate is given on successful completion of the course.
