Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024

Standard:

01A (DE Revision) All flaggers working on state-maintained roadways, except for emergency personnel and law enforcement officers, shall be certified by a DelDOT-recognized flagger certification program. All flaggers, except for emergency personnel and law enforcement officers, shall be required to carry a flagger certification card and photo identification on their person at all times.

Guidance:

01 Because flaggers are responsible for public safety and make the greatest number of contacts with the public of all highway workers, they should be trained in safe traffic control practices and public contact techniques. Flaggers should be able to satisfactorily demonstrate the following abilities:
A. Ability to receive and communicate specific instructions clearly, firmly, and courteously;

B. Ability to move and maneuver quickly in order to avoid danger from errant vehicles;

C. Ability to control signaling devices (such as paddles and flags) in order to provide clear and positive guidance to drivers approaching a TTC zone in frequently changing situations;

D. Ability to understand and apply safe traffic control practices, sometimes in stressful or emergency situations; and

E. Ability to recognize dangerous traffic situations and warn workers in sufficient time to avoid injury.
