What Is a Banksman?

The Essential Link Between People and Vehicles

A Banksman — also known as a Traffic Marshal — is a trained professional responsible for the safe movement of vehicles and plant machinery in and around a workplace. They act as the eyes and ears of the driver, guiding vehicles in areas where visibility is limited or pedestrians are at risk.

Under UK health and safety legislation, any site with vehicle movements is required to manage the risks they pose. Sky FMG's Banksmen ensure full compliance while preventing accidents before they happen.

  • Directing HGVs, plant, and delivery vehicles safely
  • Controlling pedestrian and vehicle conflict zones
  • Managing site access and egress points
  • Supporting public highway and footpath safety
  • Real-time communication with drivers and site managers
