Description
This training program provides field personnel with guidance on installation and removal methods for temporary traffic control (TTC) zones and provides safety best practices. Proper setup and operation of temporary traffic control zones improves the safety of those working near traffic and is of the utmost importance. It is important to remember that temporary traffic control field personnel are most vulnerable during installation and removal of temporary traffic control devices. Working near traffic requires training in safe practices, alertness, common sense, and a sense of responsibility. Workers are responsible for their own safety, the safety of other workers, the safety of the driving public, and the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. Although maintenance and short-term work is not exposed to traffic as long, workers are still at risk during their activities. The purpose of this training is to mitigate the risks.
