Flagger Safety

(15 min.)The Manual of Traffic Controls for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones is the basic standard that provides guidance for flagger conduct, skills, and the science they use. Some states may have varying guidelines and regulations, but most state programs are based upon this manual and regulation. As a flagger, you must remember that your job is the most important one on the crew as the lives of all individuals in the work space depend on you and your decisions. As a flagger, you must look and act as a professional. Wear only clean and neat clothing along with fresh reflectorized and highly visible garments required for street wear. Work boots are a must due to the walking surface on a construction or maintenance site.

Topics included in this safety video are: equipment, flagging position, flagging situations, single flagger, two flaggers, flagging procedures, proper conduct, and how important is flagger safety?
