Banksman Training

A banksman's function on a construction site is to ensure the safe movement of vehicles and machinery by acting as the "eyes" for drivers, especially when visibility is limited. They use particular hand signals or two-way radios to guide vehicles such as cranes, trucks, and excavators, thereby reducing accidents, property damage, and pedestrian injuries. Banksman manage traffic flow to decrease risks, improve site productivity, and guarantee that operations such as loading and unloading are completed safely.
