Principles of Flagging Workshop
This workshop is the classic, low-cost presentation of basic flagging principles. This three-to four-hour workshop will
- teach basic principles of flagging
- demonstrate recommended flagging
- illustrate some common applications of flagging
This workshop can be brought to your agency (Iowa only). You'll need to provide 10-20 employees, a VCR, a video monitor, a projection screen, and a meeting room.
Since this program is primarily sponsored by federal and state highway safety funds, there is only a minimal charge for government agencies. This training meets the minimum requirements of Iowa Department of Transportation specifications.
Who should attend
- Employees from cities, counties, utilities, or contractors who perform flagging on the job or who supervise or train flaggers.
- Anyone who has attended a work zone safety workshop in recent years and desires a more concentrated program on flagging.
