What is the role of a banksman?
Introduction:

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), circa 7 workers die each year as a result of accidents involving vehicles, mobile plant and equipment on construction sites. A role and duties of the vehicle banksman is to be in charge of directing the vehicular movements on a construction site.
