Typical banksman slinger scenarios on Kingswells sites

Scenario 1
Blind lift over a building corner with radio comms only
Scenario 2
Multi-leg sling selection for an awkward, off-centre load
Scenario 3
Receiving an HGV-mounted load in a tight yard with foot traffic

Audit findings this prevents

Signals improvised instead of the BS 7121 standard set
Sling WLL chosen on a single-leg basis when the geometry needed derating
Banksman positioned in the load-fall zone to 'get a better view'
