Practice Details
State Agency: Connecticut
Practice Provision: Flagger certification and training
Description:
Connecticut requires flagger training.
Approved flagger training programs: There are two organizations that are recognized by ConnDOT and provide training and certification of traffic persons other than law enforcement. One is the American Traffic Safety Services Association. The second association ConnDOT has referred people to is the National Safety Council (NSC). Both of these organizations provide training that fulfills the requirements for Uniformed Flaggers as traffic persons in their contracts.
Process for getting a flagger training program approved: If organizations choose to submit their own program, it must be submitted to the ConnDOT for review and comment. The current ATSSA and NSC programs along with the MUTCD would be used to guide reviewers on whether the program meets minimum standards and requirements for flagger certification.
