Traffic Marshal

What is a Traffic Marshal?

A Traffic Marshal, also known as a vehicle banksman, is responsible for ensuring the safe movement of large vehicles around a site and minimizing the risk of accidents.

What is the Role of a Traffic Marshal?

Traffic marshals control the entry and exit of people, vehicles, and materials on-site, particularly in areas like car parks. They patrol on foot to monitor vehicle safety, detect unauthorized individuals, and identify any hazards that could compromise property or personal safety. A traffic marshal essentially acts as the “eyes and ears” for drivers of large vehicles, such as cranes, ensuring safe navigation.

At A&M Protection, we specialize in providing manned guarding security and traffic marshal services to various projects and sites. Our commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous feedback allows us to fine-tune procedures, delivering high-quality services to our valued clients.

Main Responsibilities of a Traffic Marshal

The primary duty of a traffic marshal is to ensure the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians on the client’s site, as well as in public spaces. They use appropriate hand signals and equipment to manage traffic, coordinate vehicle movements, and communicate with personnel via radios. Our traffic marshals assist in maintaining health and safety standards on-site by guiding delivery drivers in safe reversing and unloading procedures.

Traffic Marshal Duties

In this public-facing and responsible role, a traffic marshal must:

• Maintain security surveillance, record deliveries, and update visitor logbooks
• Manage vehicle access in and out of the site entrance
• Ensure pedestrian and traffic routes are maintained
• Oversee the safe movement of vehicles around the site
• Ensure all visitors are wearing appropriate safety gear
• Monitor visitors and confirm their authorization to enter the site
• Handle other ad-hoc tasks as required
