About the course
What this course covers.
On an Ontario construction job, the traffic control person is the line between moving traffic and the crew working the road. The role carries real legal weight and real risk. This course trains the worker to control traffic to the standard Ontario's construction regulation expects.
The course covers the safety equipment a traffic control person wears and uses, the stop-slow signs and the standard hand signals, the duties of the supervisor and the worker, how to prepare for the job, how a traffic control system is placed on the road, and the authority a traffic control person carries. The content is drawn from Ontario's Construction Regulation 213/91.
Ontario contractors use this course to certify traffic control persons before a job starts, to keep a crew consistent on signals and setup, and to give a documented training record. Online certification means a crew is ready without losing a day to a classroom.
