We provide a structured approach to vehicle movement, ensuring that the interface between heavy machinery and pedestrians is managed with zero compromise on safety. Our staff are trained to work in diverse conditions, from cramped urban construction sites to expansive industrial yards.
Our Banksmen provide comprehensive site support, including:
- Manoeuvring Supervision: Guiding HGVs, excavators, and other heavy plant machinery during reversing, turning, and positioning, particularly in areas with restricted visibility or limited space.
- Pedestrian and Vehicle Segregation: Establishing and maintaining safe zones to ensure that foot traffic and vehicle movements never intersect, preventing the most common cause of site related injuries.
- Loading and Unloading Coordination: Overseeing the safe arrival and departure of delivery vehicles, ensuring they are positioned correctly for efficient loading without obstructing site access or public highways.
- Hazard Identification: Constantly assessing the site for changing risks, such as overhead obstructions, unstable ground, or moving hazards, and taking immediate action to halt operations if safety is compromised.
- Site Access Control: Working in tandem with gate staff to manage the entry of authorised vehicles and ensuring that drivers are briefed on site specific safety rules before they commence movement.
