Flagger training and certification requirements

From Kansas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for State Road and Bridge Construction:
“Flaggers. Provide courteous, competent flaggers, able to communicate with the traveling public, to direct traffic in a one-way traffic operation. Flaggers must be trained once every 3 years on the flagger procedures outlined in Part VI of the MUTCD and on the flagger procedures outlined in the KDOT Flagger Handbook, latest version. Trained flaggers are expected to behave in accordance with the previously stated flagger procedures regardless of the source of the training. Once trained, flaggers shall carry certification cards showing the flagger’s name and date of training. Copies of the KDOT Flagger Handbook are available on the KDOT website, from the Engineer or from the Bureau of Transportation Safety and Technology.”
