Basic Work Zone Flagger Video
|
The Technology Transfer Program (T2) continually looks for the most up-to-date information to provide during training. T2 has been using the same training video in the flagger qualification class since we started the program in 2008. After looking unsuccessfully for the past few years for an updated flagger training video, we decided to make our own.
T2, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Kentucky Department of Highways District 7, selected a filming location in Madison County and set up a variety of flagging scenarios. It was a long, hot day of filming, but we got some great footage.
We have a little more filming to do in the next few weeks and hope to have all production and editing done in the next few months. We hope to have the video ready before the end of the year.
We extend a special thanks to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and those District employees who have assisted us on this project.
