Become A Certified Flagger

(Course ID: MWWA 24-008 / MA Wastewater: BC-2024-33837)

Many utilities are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain police details on roadway projects.  This is especially problematic when emergency repairs are needed, putting the safety of both the public and the utility workers in jeopardy.

This half day course will provide Flagger Certification to individuals conducting flagging operations on the roads in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The course will be taught by Catherine Schoenenberger President and owner of Stay Safe Traffic Products.  Ms. Schoenenberger is one of eight MassDOT-approved certified flagging instructors in the Commonwealth.  All attendees will be provided with American Traffic Safety Service Association (ATSSA) training booklets and pocket guide.  Individuals that successfully complete this training will be issued flagger certification which is valid for 2 years. This training is approved for 3.0 TCHs (Training Contact Hours) for both MA water and wastewater operators.

 Learning Objectives:

  • Review the definitions and human factors of doing work along a roadway
  • Discuss the parts of a Temporary Traffic Control Zone (TTZ)
  • Learn how to control the Work Zone and properly perform flagging operations
 This course is approved for 3.0 TCHs (Training Contact Hours) for Massachusetts Water AND Wastewater Operators. Live in-person class!
