Stay Safe On Site

Every year, there are over 5000 accidents involving transport in the workplace. About 50 of these result in people being killed. The main causes of injury are people falling off vehicles, or being struck or crushed by them. ​ Our course helps operatives working on a commercial site learn how to stay safe and understand universal signalling when working around HGV’s so they can comply with health & safety regulations and ensure the safety of themselves and others on site. ​ This short online course is designed to give you an overview of vehicle safety at work which will help you to stay safe and ensure both you and your employer follow HSE guidelines. ​ The banksman awareness section within this course covers the banksman's role and the universal signals used throughout the UK and Europe. It's recommended that all those working within the industry understand the signals to help ensure their own safety.
