About the course
What this course covers.
A roadway work zone puts workers within feet of moving traffic, every shift. Each year, workers performing roadway construction and maintenance - along with the drivers and pedestrians using the road - are killed or injured in work zone accidents. Almost none of it has to happen. This course trains workers to set up and work a zone that protects everyone.
The course covers work zone safety and traffic control, the traffic control equipment and procedures a zone uses, and how to set up a work zone correctly. It works through the best practices for a safe work zone and the particular considerations of night work and mobile operations.
Companies use the course to train workers on roadway construction and maintenance crews and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
Our crews work feet from traffic every shift. The work zone setup and best-practices sections are exactly what new workers need before they go out.
Brent W.
Roadway Maintenance Supervisor
Good general work zone awareness. We pair it with the province-specific traffic control course for the workers actually directing traffic.
Carrie L.
Safety Coordinator
The night work section is the useful part. Different hazards after dark, and the course treats them seriously.

Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that workers exposed to traffic hazards are trained and that work zones are set up to protect workers and the public. This course gives work zone safety training and the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for. Workers who direct traffic also need a province-specific traffic control person course.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask
How much does the Work Zone Safety course cost?
- The course is 49.99 CAD per seat. Use code ONTRACK10 at checkout for 10 percent off an individual purchase, or set up a free On-Track Safety corporate account for 20 percent off every course for the first three months when training a crew.
How long does the course take?
- The course is about 30 minutes of content and is fully self-paced, so it can be completed in a single short session, and a printable student manual is available as a later reference.
Does the Work Zone Safety certificate expire?
- The certificate of completion does not carry an expiry date. Many employers refresh work zone training periodically as part of their health and safety program.
Is this the same as a traffic control person course?
- No. Work Zone Safety covers the hazards of working in a roadway work zone and how a zone is set up. A worker whose job is to direct traffic needs the separate province-specific Traffic Control Person course.
Does the course cover night work?
- Yes. The course covers the particular hazards and considerations of night work and mobile roadway operations, alongside setting up a work zone and traffic control equipment.
