Registered Flagger Workshop
This advanced training, supported by the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), results in flagger registration, which is good for four years in many states including Iowa.
About flagger registration
To earn flagger registration, workshop participants must pass the written test with 70 percent or better and pass a demonstration test. Registered flaggers have their names and phone numbers (if desired) placed in ATSSA's database, accessible via the Internet, so that employers anywhere may locate qualified flaggers.
