About the course
What this course covers.
A Traffic Control Person's hand signals are one part of managing traffic around a construction zone. This course covers the wider role: the authority a traffic controller has, how to read and apply a Traffic Control Plan, the full range of traffic control devices beyond hand signals, and the vehicle and fuelling procedures that come with the equipment side of the job.
The course works through pre-job safety and personal protective equipment, communications for traffic control, sign types and traffic control devices, trailering essentials, and safe fuelling procedures, closing with how to read and apply a Traffic Control Plan on site.
Contractors use this course where the role needs more than flagging alone - reading a Traffic Control Plan, running the equipment that comes with it, and understanding the legal authority behind traffic control decisions.
