Title: Work Zone Safety and Flagging Tutorial
Description: The purpose of this tutorial is to provide the fundamentals of work zone safety and to explain the basic concepts of flagging in a work zone. This includes reminders about proper flagging equipment, placement of flaggers, appropriate use of standard signaling devices, and methods of traffic control.
This tutorial has recently been updated to reflect the 2007 change in New York State from the old NYS MUTCD to the National MUTCD and the NYS Supplement to the National MUTCD.
Audience: This tutorial is intended as refresher training for New York State rural town, county, and village public works crews, Highway Superintendents, and their seasonal laborers. This tutorial may also be useful to New York State utility workers, law enforcement officers, and emergency response teams who occasionally need to redirect traffic. It is not intended to replace comprehensive instruction on the topic.
