Who Needs Traffic Marshall Training?
Anyone appointed to direct or control vehicle movements on a construction or industrial site typically needs suitable traffic-marshall or vehicle-banksman training for that environment. The requirement comes from your traffic management arrangements and risk assessment — not from a single universal job title on every CSCS card.
Quick answer
If the traffic plan names people to marshal deliveries, reversing or plant interfaces, those people need current training that matches the vehicles and layout. Keep the record distinct from slinger-signaller evidence. Verify provider and site rules; not legal advice.
Typical assignment triggers
- Live traffic management or vehicle marshaling plans
- Tight yards, public interface or reversing operations
- Delivery peaks where untrained stewards would be used
- Client rules that specify a named course or card
Recording practice
- Name the course scope and environment covered.
- Store expiry or reassessment dates with evidence.
- Link people to the sites or shifts they cover.
- Re-brief when layout or vehicle types change significantly.
Honest limits
FieldClear tracks traffic-marshall training you assign. It does not write traffic plans or certify competence. Verify certificate dates. Not legal advice.
