Signaller and on-site traffic
One day to separate pedestrians from machines on an industrial site, warehouse or construction site, and to guide lorries and machines where the driver cannot see. Traffic plan, reception of carriers, blind spots, signaller position and signals, and radio communication are covered: the exercises take place on your roads, docks and manoeuvring areas, and the workshop proposes improvements to your traffic plan.

Frequently asked questions
Who should be trained as a signaller?
People tasked with guiding vehicles or machines: dock staff, team leaders, gatekeepers who receive lorries, designated site workers. Logistics and HSE managers will benefit from the part on the traffic plan.
Do you need a vehicle for the exercises?
Yes, a lorry or a machine from the site with its driver, in a real manoeuvring area. The exercises are done at slow speed and within a cordoned-off perimeter.
Does the course produce a traffic plan?
It produces a list of conflict points and proposals. The complete redesign of the traffic plan is then done with site management, taking flows and building constraints into account.
