CLOCS: Site Access Traffic Marshal (SATM)

CLOCS: Site Access Traffic Marshal (SATM) Details

Site Access Traffic Marshals (SATMs) stationed at the site entrance are the primary and critical interface between the site, fleet operations and the public. They ensure only authorised vehicles and people enter the site, while also ensuring vehicles entering and leaving the site do so safely and efficiently.

SATMs are critical to the implementation of the CLOCS Standard. Competent SATMs are recognised by progressive contractors as essential members of the team as they improve site efficiency and productivity. CLOCS SATMs are equipped with specific skills, attitudes, and have the confidence to effectively implement CLOCS at the gate.

The SATM course covers the role of the traffic marshal, HSE data as well as the following:

• Traffic Management Hazards
• Safe Vehicles
• Hand signals
• Stop-Works Board
• Emergency Situations
• Communication

As this is a bespoke course, delivered at your premises, please contact NDTG on 01442 217 144 (Option 2) for dates.
