Controlling traffic through work
areas is one of the most
important -- and dangerous --
operations in construction
maintenance. The National Safety
Council's Flagger Training
Course is a comprehensive
skill-building session that
meets federal industry
guidelines: the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) guidelines and the ANSI
standard ISEA-107-1999. The
Office of Highway Safety, the
Federal Highway Administration,
and several state Departments of
Transportation have reviewed
this program.
The primary objectives of the
program are to train flaggers to
provide safe passage of traffic
through and around work areas
and to minimize confusion by
bringing standard flagging
procedures to our nation's
highways. This course is a must
for novice construction workzone
flaggers in both one- and
two-person flagging operations.
Experienced flaggers can attend
this course as a refresher. All
attendees receive a certificate
of course completion.

The Safety Council reserves the
right to cancel or reschedule
classes due to registration
numbers.
