    Frequently asked questions

    What’s the different between a Vehicle Banksman and a Traffic Marshal?
    Vehicle Banksman and Traffic Marshal are two terms that describe the same thing.
    Can I direct Plant Machinery using this training?
    Yes, given a suitable risk assessment is conducted in conjunction with a trained and certified plant operator factoring risks such as manoeuvring with a boom or while the Plant Machine is loaded.
    If training is completed using a LGV, does this mean the certification is restricted to only Banking LGVs?
    Whether candidates complete Vehicle Banksman training using a normal road car, a heavy goods vehicle or plant machinery, the role and responsibilities of the Vehicle Banksman remain the same.

    Certification is not restricted to banking a particular type of vehicle.
