Course Description

Description
You can earn qualification through the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service’s course – Flaggers in Work Zones (HWS110). A flagger is often the first line of communication between the motoring public and a street or highway work area. Good flagging operations are critical for worker safety and traffic safety. This course increases awareness of the importance of the flagger's duties, and offers demonstrations of proper flagger positioning and techniques. It also stresses the importance of the proper flagging equipment and attire. Practical exercises on common flagging situations are included.
To be included in the online Associated General Contractors of Texas (AGC) List of Trained Flaggers, flaggers must retake flagger training from an approved instructor every four years. The names of successfully trained flaggers provided to the AGC by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
