-CDOT requires flaggers to be certified.
-Just because a flagger has his certification card, does not necessarily mean the employee is properly trained in accordance with the OSHA standards.
-The training program that is used to certify the flaggers is in the process of being revised to be to include more in-depth training and OJT.
The present MUTCD states that the Primary and Preferred hand-signaling device is the stop/slow paddle, the revised version has clarified this requirement and will not state “Flaggers shall use a paddle, flag, or AFAD (automated flagger assistance device) and not just hand signals. The AFED is also new.
Flaggers need to stationed behind the cones, if stopping traffic, after the first car is stopped the flagger may step out from behind the cones.
