A foreman takes a new employee through the basics of flagging in the shop yard and on the jobsite. The video demonstrates flagging equipment and safety gear, techniques of slowing, stopping, and releasing traffic, and some conditions that involve traffic control. The layout of traffic control devices is shown for a work area with two flaggers, and coordinating the work of the two flaggers is also covered. Eye contact and clear hand signals are stressed.
