Trained marshals. Safe vehicle movements. CDM-aligned.

Traffic marshals and banksmen, run inside the AOG operating model.

Traffic marshals and banksmen sits inside the same AOG account as security, FM and vacant property. One project manager owns the contract. One control room holds the schedule, the inductions and the daily reports. One weekly report goes back to the main contractor.

You take the service on its own, or alongside the rest of the construction-support division. The covenant, the compliance ledger and the point of contact stay the same either way.

Traffic marshals and banksmen for live construction sites. Vehicle and delivery co-ordination, plant banksman cover, pedestrian segregation and logistics management. Near-miss and incident reporting integrated into the main contractor system.

Banksmen qualified for lifting and reversing operations, not general security operatives repurposed

Near-miss and incident data logged into the main contractor system — no separate reporting overhead

Highways and public realm experience available where licensed, covering footway and carriageway closures

Integrated with AOG gatehouse and site security on the same weekly report

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a traffic marshal and a banksman?

A traffic marshal manages vehicle movement, deliveries and pedestrian segregation across a site generally, while a banksman is specifically trained and positioned to guide reversing or lifting operations for a particular piece of plant or vehicle.

What training or competency is required?

Marshals and banksmen hold the relevant vehicle marshal and banksman training for the duties they perform, particularly for lifting and reversing operations where banksman competency is specifically required.

Can marshals manage pedestrian segregation as well as vehicles?

Yes. Active management of the people-and-plant interface, including pedestrian segregation, is a core part of the traffic marshal role on busy sites, not an add-on.

Can AOG provide traffic marshals for the full project duration?

Yes. Cover can run for the full programme duration or for specific higher-risk phases such as deliveries, concrete pours or plant-heavy periods, depending on what the programme requires.

How is the traffic team integrated with the gatehouse and logistics plan?

Traffic marshals work to the same site logistics plan as the gatehouse team, including slot booking and hold areas, with near-miss and incident data logged into the main contractor's system rather than a separate log.
