Traffic Marshals on National Highways Toolbox Talk: Ensuring Safe Vehicle Movements in Highways Work
The Traffic Marshals on National Highways Toolbox Talk provides essential guidance on the roles, responsibilities, and best practices for traffic marshals working in highways environments. Developed in line with Raising the Bar 17 (RTB17), this document follows UK safety regulations, including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE guidance on workplace transport safety. It supports businesses in training and equipping marshals to safely manage vehicle movements, reduce collision risks, and maintain safe access points for workers and road users.
Traffic marshals, also known as banksmen, play a critical role in managing plant and vehicle movements in high-risk environments such as highways construction zones, roadworks, and temporary traffic management sites. This toolbox talk outlines the core responsibilities of traffic marshals, including directing vehicles, enforcing site traffic rules, and communicating effectively with drivers and site personnel to prevent incidents.
The document highlights essential safety protocols such as:
Workers are reminded of the importance of pre-shift briefings, clear site signage, and maintaining visual contact with drivers at all times. In line with Raising the Bar 17, the toolbox talk also stresses the importance of proper training and competency assessments for traffic marshals, particularly when working in dynamic or high-traffic conditions.
