🛡️ Why Certified Banksmen Matter
Legal Compliance Requirements
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 mandate competent supervision for vehicle movements on construction sites. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines and project shutdowns.
Insurance Implications
Insurance coverage may be voided if accidents occur without proper certified supervision. Our banksmen carry full certification documentation for insurance compliance.
Safety Statistics & Accident Prevention
Sites with certified banksmen show 85% fewer vehicle-related incidents. The average cost of a workplace vehicle accident exceeds £75,000 in lost time, equipment damage, and potential litigation.
