Construction Site Signaller Training

SHORT TERM COURSES (LESS THAN 2 HOURS)

Do you perform traffic control back-up manoeuvres on your construction sites where pedestrians are also present? If the answer to this question is yes, you may be surprised to learn that the Construction Safety Code now requires the presence of an instructor-trained flagman to guide self-propelled vehicles during such maneuvers. AKT Training offers a short training course that covers the six points listed in section 2.8.5 of the Safety Code for Construction Work.
