If one is trained and experienced in operating a forklift truck or similar and able to interpret signals given to you by a banksman, does that qualify you to give banksman signals to another operator?

I would say no as the banksman training involves a number of other factors relating to vehicle movements and doesn't depend only on understanding of hand signals.

FLT and banksman training is separate at previous and current employments.

Banksman training is totally separate indeed.
