2017 Work Zone Traffic Control Employee Qualification Program Training Dates
Controlling traffic through work zones is one of the most important and dangerous jobs in road construction and maintenance.  There are more than 130 major work zones currently operating in Kentucky, and countless short-term work zones on state roads that require a flagger.  The result is a growing number of injuries and fatalities in work zones.  

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has adopted a "Policy and Procedure for the Safety and Mobility of Traffic through Work Zones," which defines roles, responsibilities and training requirements in work zones.  A copy of the policy can be viewed here.  

Currently, any agency obstructing traffic must show they have trained personnel, either as a supervisor, technician, or flagger, depending upon the employee's assignment. Training to meet this demand is available through the Work Zone Traffic Control Employee Qualification Program.

Take a Break. Drive Awake.
Drowsy driving is a dangerous behavior that can result in serious injury or death. But despite the risks, drowsy driving is far too prevalent.

Drowsy driving is estimated to contribute to as many as 1.2 million collisions, resulting in potentially 5,000 to 8,000 fatalities per year.

Driving while drowsy delays reaction speed, decreases concentration, and impairs judgement.

If Driving While Drowsy -- Take a Break.  Drive Awake.
Sleep is the only remedy for drowsy driving.  Rolling down the window, turning up the radio or AC, or drinking a caffeinated beverage is not enough to stave off drowsiness.

On long trips, schedule breaks every two hours or 100 miles to stretch and move around. 

Learn more at the NHTSA Drowsy Driving website.
