Controlling traffic through work areas is one of the most important—and dangerous—operations in construction maintenance. The IASHEP Flagger Training Course is a comprehensive skill-building session that meets federal industry guidelines, including the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the ANSI standard ISEA-107-1999. The program has been reviewed by the Office of Highway Safety, the Federal Highway Administration, and several state Departments of Transportation. Its primary objectives are to train flaggers to provide safe passage of traffic through and around work areas, minimize confusion, and implement standard flagging procedures on highways, allowing crew members to be trained and certified in safe flagging techniques in just four hours.

This course is essential for novice construction work zone flaggers in both one- and two-person operations, while experienced flaggers can attend as a refresher. All attendees receive a certificate of course completion. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of flagging procedures and the proper use of required equipment, improve their flagging skills through hands-on training, classroom activities, and a flagging skills test, and increase their ability to coordinate traffic movement safely and efficiently through the work zone.
