Frequently asked questions
What can I do once I have passed the traffic marshal course?
You can work as a traffic marshal or banksman on site, guiding vehicles and plant, keeping pedestrians clear of moving vehicles and helping drivers reverse and manoeuvre safely. Typical places of work include:
- Construction sites
- Warehouses, depots and logistics yards
- Car parks and event parking on private land
- Ports, airports and industrial sites
The course does not qualify you to stop or direct traffic on a public road. That needs police or traffic officer powers, and work on roadworks follows the Safety at Street Works and Road Works code of practice.
Is a traffic marshal ticket the same as a banksman ticket?
On most sites, yes. Traffic marshal and banksman are two names for the person who guides vehicles and keeps people out of their way, and this course covers both. Your certificate shows you have been trained in the role, whichever name your site uses.
Do I need a traffic marshal ticket to work on site?
The law does not name a specific ticket, but employers must make sure anyone guiding vehicles is trained and competent to do it safely. Most principal contractors and site managers ask to see a certificate before you start, and this course gives you one on the day you pass.
What does the course cover?
- Responsibilities of traffic marshals and banksmen
- Hand signals and safety signs
- Traffic risk assessment
- Managing dangerous manoeuvres
- Health and safety regulations
It teaches the standard hand signals from the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, with videos and animations showing each signal in use.
