Description


Roadside work is a dynamic and unpredictable environment where a split-second distraction can lead to catastrophic results. This Traffic Control & Work Zone Safety course is designed to transform workers into vigilant safety advocates, providing them with the tools to recognize and reduce hazards before an incident occurs.

The curriculum starts with the fundamentals of Work Zone Geometry, teaching participants how to properly set up tapers, buffers, and work spaces that provide drivers with clear, unambiguous guidance. We dive deep into the psychology of the driver, helping workers anticipate common mistakes and environmental factors—like sun glare or inclement weather—that increase risk.

Beyond setup, the training emphasizes Personal Protection Practices. From selecting the correct Class 2 or 3 high-visibility apparel to mastering the use of communication devices and signals, participants gain a comprehensive safety toolkit. Whether you are working on a high-speed highway or a municipal street, this course reinforces the consistent work practices and hazard awareness necessary to maintain a secure perimeter, protecting both the workers on the ground and the public behind the wheel.
