A core interactive course of 11 interactions and 7 validated competencies covering sign and cone placement, flagging signals, and positioning for an escape route. Learners practice setting up and standing in a work zone where live vehicles are the hazard.
Being struck by a vehicle is one of the most serious hazards a worker faces — on a roadway work zone, on a construction site, or in a busy yard where vehicles and people mix. This course teaches every worker who works in or near traffic to recognize the hazard, understand how a temporary traffic control zone is built (advance warning, transition/taper, a buffer space kept clear of workers, the work area, and the termination area), understand the duties and limits of a…
Equip every worker who works in or near traffic to recognize the struck-by hazard and protect themselves and others — through the traffic control plan, work-zone devices, high-visibility apparel, safe positioning, and pedestrian/vehicle separation.
Flaggers, signallers, and roadwork or work-zone crews who manage vehicle and equipment traffic around active work.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year. Review training at least annually and whenever work zones, sites, or traffic conditions change.
This certificate records completion of awareness-level knowledge training in working safely in and near traffic: recognizing struck-by hazards, the parts of a temporary traffic control zone, high-visibility apparel and positioning, and internal vehicle and pedestrian traffic. It records the Trained state only. It is not a flagperson's training certificate. Under Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health Regulation MR 217/2006 s. 20.6, no employer may require or permit a worker to work as a flagperson unless the worker holds a valid flagperson's training certificate issued by a person or organization approved by the director, and has demonstrated competency at the employer's workplace; this certificate does not stand in for that one. On site, the employer shows the worker the traffic control plan, observes the worker setting up or working in a zone and wearing the right high-visibility apparel in a safe position, and signs that observation off as Competent.

One year from the day you pass. Review training at least annually and whenever work zones, sites, or traffic conditions change.
