What Everyone Should Know-Grant (WESK) About Temporary Traffic Control Training
A Four-Hour Awareness Program
DESCRIPTION
This four-hour awareness level program is for the person in your company responsible for managing the work zone training function – safety officers, supervisors, or any other person whose decisions may impact traffic safety.
Lack of training is one of the leading causes of tort liability. It is very important to have a trained work force in your company. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices states that “each person whose actions affect temporary traffic control (TTC) zone safety, from the upper-level management through the field workers, should receive training appropriate to the job decisions each individual is required to make. Only those individuals who are trained in proper TTC practices and have a basic understanding of the principles (established by applicable standards and guidelines, including those of this Manual) should supervise the selection, placement, and maintenance of TTC devices used for TTC zones and for incident management.”
The program will discuss the who, what, and why of training: Who needs training? What type of training is needed? Why is training needed? What training avenues are there? Where do you go for comprehensive TTC training? How can you ensure that workers and other decision-makers are working as safely and effectively as possible?
