We are excited to announce that Advanced Safety & Health’s Louisville Kentucky office is now a certified provider of the National Safety Council Flagger training course for Kentucky employers.

Course Information: The flagger course is a combination of lecture, visual presentations, and outdoor exercises lasting approximately four hours. This program follows the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). A written examination will be administered at the conclusion of the course. In accordance with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet requirements, only those individuals who have completed the entire Basic Work Zone and Flagger Course may be tested. Individuals who successfully complete the course and exam will qualify and receive a two (2) year certification to flag on Kentucky roadways.

Course Objective:

• Recognize the need to use specific equipment when performing flagging responsibilities.
• Correctly execute the basic Stop/Proceed/Slow directions.
• Set up a flagger station in such a way as to maximize their own safety and the safety of the crew and road users.
• Perform emergency flagging.

Note: While this program meets FHWS (Federal Highway Administration) and OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) requirements, it may not be approved in some states due to State Department of Transportation requirements. This program does meet Kentucky Department of Transportation requirements for Flaggers.
