7, directions for a JCB driver.
I'm sorry but I would not expect a new recruit to know how to bank a JCB, or a 360. Its a specialist job, officially requiring a ticket and should only be done by trained staff. New staff should have an awareness of how to behave around machines, the need to get the drivers attention before walking past, which way they can slew, swing etc. Most supervisors don't know the correct hand signals!
The hand-movements straight from HSE:

I completely agree, only trained staff should bank a JCB. Speaking to drivers I know, a lot of them fear whacking an archy they've never worked with before because of the confused signals we so often send out. (The video is not a replacement for training)
