What is Traffic Control Person Flagger Training?
Interaction between contractors and the general public is often unavoidable in construction projects, and this creates risks that must be managed effectively. Closing roads is a common solution when traffic interferes with the project, but when this is not possible, contractors must rely on traffic control persons – also known as TCP, flag persons, flaggers or signalers.
According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOSH), the roles of a traffic control person are the following:
- Guiding traffic safely through construction sites by stopping, slowing or directing vehicles.
- Regulating traffic as needed to protect workers.
- Giving clear directions and signals, so drivers understand exactly what to do.
- Controlling traffic without causing more congestion or delay than necessary.
In most Canadian provinces and territories, training is legally required for traffic control persons, and each jurisdiction has its own laws. This TCP course meets the Ontario Traffic Manual – Book 7 – Temporary Conditions and OSHA Safety Standards.
