stop then approach, agree communication methods with the driver, check the route,
monitor for pedestrians and plant, direct the vehicle to the proper place, guide the
vehicle to the unloading position
Name three aspects that need to be taken into account when setting up the
plant/vehicle crossing area on a site divided by a public highway - Answers -✔✔ it is
formally notified with the highway authority, it is marked with adequate warning signs
placed at the proper distance, it is controlled with traffic lights or stop/go boards

✔✔ hi vis, easily identifiable, clean, worn correctly, reflective
If a delivery vehicle has to shunt backwards and forward when reversing into a site from
the public highway, what danger could occur? - Answers -✔✔ pedestrians and other
vehicles might not understand what is happening and therefore might not stop
A) In principle, what is the main responsibility of the plant and vehicle marshaller and B)
who remains responsible for ensuring the safe movement of the plant or vehicle -
Answers -✔✔ A) safety B) the driver is responsible for their own movement
