Controlling traffic through work areas is one of the most important -- and dangerous -- operations in construction maintenance. The National Safety Council's Flagger Training Course is a comprehensive skill-building session that meets federal industry guidelines: the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines and the ANSI standard ISEA-107-2015. The Office of Highway Safety, the Federal Highway Administration, and several state Departments of Transportation have reviewed this program. Training goal The primary objectives of the program are to train flaggers to provide safe passage of traffic through and around work areas and to minimize confusion by bringing standard flagging procedures to our nation's highways. To get your crew members trained and certified in safe flagging techniques in just four hours. Who should attend? This course is a must for novice construction work zone flaggers in both one- and two-person flagging operations. Experienced flaggers can attend this course as a refresher. All attendees receive a certificate of course completion. What you'll learn: Thorough understanding of flagging procedures and proper use of required equipment. Improved flagging skills from hands-on training, classroom activities and a flagging skills test. Increased ability to coordinate traffic movement through the work zone.

Recertification is required 2 years after your initial certification, then every required every 3 years. The 4-hour instructor-led refresher course provides a thorough review of the knowledge needed to successfully complete the recertification exam. Participants will receive a study guide and personal coaching before taking the exam in the classroom.

Learn how to train your lift truck operators for safe operation and meet OSHA requirements. Our one-day classroom course teaches candidate instructors how to develop and deliver complete in-house training programs, design exercises for staff evaluations, and instruct non-operators how to work safely around lift trucks. Take the course at an NSC training center, or we can train onsite at your location. What you'll learn •OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Standard 1910.178 and 1926.602 compliance •How to evaluate operators' performance •How to educate non-operators about working safely around powered industrial trucks •How to teach safe procedures and maintenance Course materials Easy-to-follow Facilitator Guide with companion DVD (plus PC/Mac CD-ROM version) that lets course leaders engage and involve participants through all seven instructional modules. Who would benefit Lift truck operator trainers, lift truck operators, warehouse/shipping/receiving managers, construction site managers, safety managers, safety committee members and operations managers. The NSC Lift Truck Operator train-the-trainer program is intended for qualified forklift/lift truck trainers only. Prior experience training lift truck operators is mandatory. This program is not intended for novice trainers. According to OSHA a qualified trainer would be a person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience has demonstrated the ability to train and evaluate powered industrial truck operators.
