Make workplace requirements clearer through clear Flagger Safety (Construction) instruction on best practices for a safer work environment in construction.
Focused on real-world application, Flagger Safety (Construction) turns core concepts into clear actions learners can use at work. Key outcomes include the ability to describe flagger responsibilities in construction, use safe traffic signaling techniques, and spot and mitigate possible hazards. The material also helps learners comply with safety regulations. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
Flagger safety training is for workers who control traffic through highway, road, and utility work zones. That includes construction crews, utility workers, and road maintenance personnel. Supervisors who set up temporary traffic control also benefit. The 15-minute video, in English, covers equipment, single and two-flagger operations, flagging procedures, and conduct.
Flagging in construction work zones is governed by Part 6 of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), which covers temporary traffic control. OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.201(a) requires flagging signals, procedures, and flagger garments to conform to the MUTCD. Many states add their own flagger requirements.
Whether flaggers need certification depends on the state and the project. Many state transportation departments require certified flaggers on highway jobs, and certification typically involves a short course and exam. Even where certification isn't required, the MUTCD calls for flaggers to be trained in safe traffic control practices.
A highway flagger should wear high-visibility safety apparel meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 Performance Class 2 or 3, as the MUTCD requires. Class 3 garments are commonly recommended for night work. Flaggers typically also wear a hard hat and safety-toe boots, and carry a STOP/SLOW paddle to direct traffic.
A flagger should stand on the shoulder next to the controlled lane or in a closed lane, never in an open lane of traffic. The flagger station should be visible to approaching drivers from a distance and apart from other workers. It also needs a planned escape route if a vehicle doesn't stop.
