What is Traffic Control Training?
Traffic Control Training is an essential course designed to teach flaggers, road workers, and supervisors the best practices for managing temporary traffic control zones. This training follows MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and OSHA guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of workers and the public.
Work zone safety is critical in reducing accidents and fatalities. This course provides workers with the necessary skills to direct traffic, communicate effectively with drivers, and handle emergency situations safely.
The History & Importance of Traffic Control Safety
Traffic control and flagging safety have been regulated since the introduction of the Federal Highway Safety Act of 1966. This led to the creation of MUTCD guidelines, which set national standards for temporary traffic control zones.
A major milestone in flagging safety occurred in 2005, when the Work Zone Safety Awareness Campaign was launched due to a surge in work zone-related injuries and deaths. Since enforcing mandatory flagging certification and safety training, work zone fatalities have decreased by over 40%.
