Flagger training for New York work zones
Build the knowledge to recognize unsafe conditions, coordinate traffic movements and protect people when normal routes change. Tribune’s course follows the work-zone picture from the approved plan through equipment checks, signals, communication and emergency decisions.
What you will learn
Use measurable learning goals to connect the course to the decisions you face at a work zone.
- Identify flagger duties, equipment, temporary traffic-control terms and relevant NYC/NYS requirements.
- Explain how visibility, safe positioning, clear signals and communication protect road users and workers.
- Given a written or pictured work-zone situation, select the appropriate STOP/SLOW sequence, coordinated release or emergency response.
- Analyze a NYC/NYS work-zone situation to distinguish safe from unsafe responses and identify requirements needing project-specific or other-state verification.
