Virginia Basic /TCT
VIRGINIA-STATE SPECIFIC “BASIC WORK ZONE TRAFFIC CONTROL” TRAINING
This course is recognized as ATSSA’s TCT course
Introductory training in the principles of temporary work zone traffic control.
DESCRIPTION
All those involved in construction work zone projects should have a basic knowledge of temporary traffic control that allows them to assist in installation, monitoring and removal of traffic control devices, and in the recognition of deficiencies during the course of a project.
The VA TCT one-day course provides an introduction to temporary traffic control in Virginia work zones for those who are relatively inexperienced in this area. It teaches concepts, techniques and practices in the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices, specific to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The students are provided VDOT’s Work Zone Safety Guidelines for Temporary Traffic Control booklet, which is used as the basic text material for the course. This handy Guide booklet contains material condensed from the Virginia Work Area Protection Manual but in a simplified, easy to understand and use format.
All ATSSA classes are taught by highly qualified instructors that bring many years experience in traffic control to the classroom. They present this 1-day class using a state-of-the-art PowerPoint presentation covering the material in the booklet along with personal observations and antidotes from their experiences. The student will leave this class with practical knowledge that will enable them to help make their projects safer for the workers, motorists and pedestrians and help reduce the exposure of the worker the company to possible litigation.
Students are required to complete a written examination and will receive a certificate of completion
