High-visibility clothing ensures flaggers are easily seen by drivers, especially in low-light or high-traffic conditions, which is critical for their safety.
Flaggers must report hazards promptly to ensure the work zone remains safe for everyone. It’s the responsibility of the supervisor or designated personnel to address the issue.
Keeping a safe distance from traffic provides flaggers with reaction time to handle unpredictable situations, ensuring their own safety and that of others.
In adverse weather, flaggers must take extra precautions to remain visible and ensure safe communication with drivers, such as using lights or enhanced reflective clothing.
In the event of an accident, safety is the top priority. The flagger must ensure emergency services are alerted and the supervisor is informed to coordinate an appropriate response.
