Industry Flagger Instructor Training Course:  About, Registration Information

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet recently issued the Policy and Procedures for the Safety and Mobility of Traffic Through Work Zones with a primary goal of reducing crashes and injuries in and around highway work zones; as well as providing a safe and efficient environment for workers.  The new Work Zone Traffic Control Employee Qualification Program has been developed to meet this need and includes three courses:  Basic Work Zone Traffic Control and Flagger, Work Zone Traffic Control Technician and Work Zone Traffic Control Supervisor.  Additionally, the Cabinet has authorized highway construction contracting companies to teach flaggers employed by them, using trainers approved by the Cabinet.  The Industry Flagger Instructor Training Course has been developed to meet the needs of the Cabinet and the highway industry.  Trainers can also be qualified through certification by the American Traffic Safety Services Association and by other accredited programs approved by the Transportation Cabinet.
