New and Enhanced Training for Flagpersons, Supervisors Launching April 1

Workplace NL will be launching two new courses in Newfoundland and Labrador on April 1 for those looking to recertify or train as a traffic control worker. One is a mandatory and enhanced flagperson’s course, doubling the minimum training from four to eight hours. The other is a training course for workers who supervise or design traffic control plans for construction sites. Certified traffic control workers in the province will have to take the new training after their current three-year certification expires, while anyone new entering the industry after April 1 will have to complete the expanded training.
