Practice Details
State Agency: Maryland
Practice Provision: Flagger certification and training
Description:
In Maryland, all flaggers are required to be certified through either the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) or by a designated State Highway Administration (SHA) instructor (for SHA, state agency, or local government employees only).
In order to be considered an "approved flagger", an individual must have successfully completed the designated course and completed the Maryland-specific exam with a 70% (correctly answered questions) or greater. Additionally, the candidate flagger must demonstrate proper flagging techniques to the instructor administering the exam (in a controlled environment).
Flagger candidates who are unable to meet course/testing requirements may retake the exam, but must complete new registration for the course.
