When vehicles, pedestrians, and heavy plant share the same space, the margin for error disappears. That’s why skilled traffic marshals (banksmen) are essential for safe, efficient sites—especially in construction, logistics yards, retail parks, and events. If you’re wondering where to find the best traffic marshal security services, start with AK9 Security. We provide bespoke, SIA-compliant solutions tailored to your site layout, risk profile, and operating hours.
What Does a Traffic Marshal Do?
- Vehicle & plant movements: Guiding HGVs, vans, and plant with hand signals/radios
- Pedestrian safety: Segregation, escorting, and safe walkway enforcement
- Gatehouse & access control: Permit checks, deliveries, and contractor sign-in/out
- Traffic flow planning: Temporary diversions, one-way systems, peak-hour plans
- Hazard identification: Spotting blind spots, reversing risks, poor lighting, trip hazards
- Incident response: Coordinating with site supervisors and emergency services
- Compliance & reporting: Daily logs, near-miss reporting, toolbox talks
