From Idaho Transportation Department Department Memorandum RE: Flagger Training and Certification:
“As of April 1, 2021 only flaggers certified via in-person training are allowed to work on projects. However, flaggers certified through an ATSSA or Evergreen Safety Council online course prior to April 1, 2021 may continue to be allowed on projects under the following conditions:

1. Flaggers certified via online training prior to April 1, 2021 may continue to be allowed on projects until their certification expires or is renewed through an in-person recertification course.

1.  This allowance applies only to online certifications from ATSSA and Evergreen Safety Council. Online flagger certification may not be accepted by other states through the Department’s reciprocity agreements. It’s the certificate holder’s responsibility to verify their status with each state.
2. Recertification is the responsibility of the certification holder.”
