Flagger Safety : Past, Present, Future
A new IRF Webinar discussed the importance of proper flagger training as well as the future of work zone safety through a review of state of the art technologies used around the world.
It is not a coincidence that one of the most critical jobs for a road construction crew is also one of the most dangerous. This job is the flagger. This very dangerous and important work zone job requires extensive training as well as a calm, patient personality. Without a well-trained flagger or an automated flagger device, the safety of the entire crew as well as the motoring public could be in jeopardy.
