Flagger training and certification requirements

From Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Standard and Supplemental Specifications:
“112.03.01 General Traffic Control.
… …
All flaggers shall be trained in current MUTCD flagging procedures. Proof of training must be available for review at the Department’s request. Flagging credentials must be current within the last 5 years.”

For information about the flagger training program, check out Basic Work Zone and Flagger Qualification course.

From KYTC Employee Safety & Health Manual:
“Before KYTC employees are allowed to engage in flagging procedures, they must successfully pass the KYTC course provided by KYTC employee safety personnel and receive a valid KYTC Flagger Certification card. Employees should participate in refresher training every two years thereafter or if it is determined that retraining is necessary due to observed, non-compliant flagger procedures.”
