What's in the Training?

Our Traffic Control safety training course is Canada compliant, and our online version fulfills Canada’s classroom training requirement. Each class contains sections on traffic control, flagging, hazards, and more.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by Canada.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following Canada standards for traffic control:

Why Do I Need Training?

Setting up traffic control measures may seem simple enough, but there is a lot of important information that you need to understand before placing any signs or cones.

When it comes to refresher training, Canada’s standard in some instances is very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
