Just because that pothole, light pole installation, water line repair, or tree trimming operation takes only an hour or two doesn’t mean that considerations for public and worker safety should be taken lightly.

This 2-hour program is appropriate for public works street crews as well as water, sewer, and other utility maintenance crews. You'll learn some key steps to determining how short-term work zone safety areas should be set up, including what situations warrant a flagger, when to close lanes down, and whether or not to route a detour.

This program shows specific examples of work zone set-ups gone awry and teaches how they can be fixed. It also provides tips on how to manage your training needs to meet with MUTCD regulations.
