Why Traffic Marshals Are Essential on Construction Sites
Construction sites where vehicles and pedestrians share space create serious risks. Without proper traffic management, collisions, near misses, and injuries can halt projects, trigger HSE enforcement, and expose your business to significant legal and financial liability. Professional traffic marshals provide visible, active management that keeps your site compliant, your workers safe, and your project on schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Traffic Marshal Do on a Construction Site?
A traffic marshal controls the movement of vehicles and plant, keeps pedestrian routes clear, and prevents collisions in areas where vehicles and people share the same space.
Do Your Traffic Marshals Hold Recognised Qualifications?
Yes. Our traffic marshals hold CPCS or equivalent certifications, meeting CDM and site safety requirements.
How Quickly Can You Mobilise Traffic Marshals?
We can typically mobilise within 24–48 hours for planned requirements, and sooner for urgent situations. Contact us to discuss your timeline.
What's the Difference Between a Traffic Marshal and a Banksman?
A traffic marshal manages general traffic flow across a site, while a banksman specifically guides reversing or manoeuvring heavy plant and vehicles. We provide both.
Do We Need Traffic Marshals for a Small Construction Site?
Any site where vehicles and pedestrians share space has a legal obligation to manage that risk. Even on smaller sites, traffic marshals may be required under CDM regulations.
Can Traffic Marshals Be Deployed for Events as Well as Construction?
Yes. We provide traffic management personnel for events, public spaces, and any setting where crowd and vehicle safety must be controlled.
Can You Provide Traffic Management Plans Along With the Marshal Service?
We work with your project team to ensure marshals are positioned correctly. For formal traffic management plans, we can coordinate with your principal contractor.
How Are Your Traffic Marshals Supervised and Managed?
We provide a dedicated point of contact throughout your engagement, with regular check-ins and clear reporting on attendance and incidents.
Do Traffic Marshals Help With CDM Compliance?
Yes. Having qualified traffic marshals on site is a key requirement under CDM 2015 for sites where vehicle movements pose a risk to workers and the public.
What PPE and Equipment Do Your Marshals Use?
Our marshals arrive with full PPE including high-visibility clothing, hard hats where required, and signalling equipment appropriate to the site.
