Who is the Banksman Train the Trainer for?

This Banksman Train the Trainer course is designed for in house trainers, managers or supervisors who are responsible for training potential banksmen and maintaining the health and safety of staff and visitors in areas where LGV’s are required to manoeuvre.

What does the Banksman Train the Trainer cover?

This course aims to give delegates the knowledge and skills to educate colleagues in banksman skills and procedures.

By the end of the course, delegates should be able to:

Teach others of the dangers of reversing
Train others in practical techniques and hand signals to reduce risks
Identify areas of danger around the site and offer recommendations for improvement
Demonstrate HSE’s recommended code of signals
Guide Large Goods Vehicles (rigid and articulated) using the above code of signals
Risk assess and report
Present and teach skills to delegates

Additional information:

Good working knowledge of banksman signals required
Delegates should wear suitable clothing, bearing in mind that the practical aspects of the course will be outdoors
An LGV is essential. To get the best out of the training, organisations are encouraged to supply an additional driver for the practical elements of the course
Training takes place on a 3:1 delegate to trainer ratio
A good sized area of the yard, that is not in use, must be made available to conduct the training to ensure trainer and delegate safety. This must not involve using a public road
A vehicle must be supplied for use during training. We recommend that the type of vehicle supplied is similar to the type the yard is usually in receipt of, but if this is not possible a car or van can be used as long as the back windows are covered to get a realistic view of bringing a vehicle in safely.
