Flagger Traffic Control Training Online

Why do you need a Flagger Traffic Control Training course? A Flagger Traffic Control Training course is essential for anyone responsible for directing and managing traffic in construction or maintenance work zones. Additionally, OSHA emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe distance from moving vehicles and using proper signaling tools like paddles and flags. Non-compliance with these requirements can result in significant penalties, increased liability, and, most importantly, jeopardize the safety of workers and road users. By completing this training, flaggers ensure compliance with safety standards like those established by OSHA and the MUTCD, reducing legal liability and enhancing the safety of both workers and the public in high-risk work environments.
