Training Details
Title: New Jersey Work Zone Safety for Roadway Maintenance Operations
Description: The Roadway Work Zone Safety Training Program provides students with an advanced multimedia-based training curriculum that can be completed at an individual's own pace. The program includes video, animation, text and audio, and is fully interactive. Included are intelligent templates that represent different work zone scenarios. Students choose a safety scenario with specific settings, such as roadway conditions, speed limit, and weather, and then demonstrate how to position equipment such as signs, channeling devices, and flags. After completion, the computer will evaluate the student's work by highlighting errors. The program also makes recommendations to help a student successfully complete the course. When fully prepared, the student can access the on- line evaluation system to take an individualized test. The student can even repeat the course until he/she passes. All test results are automatically entered into a database. Once the student has passed the course, the system will generate a certificate of completion. As a result of this training program, roadway workers are better informed about travel delineation, and proper and complete signing, making New Jersey work zones considerably safer.
