Construction work zone flaggers have one of the most dangerous occupations in construction maintenance. To train workers how to provide safe passage of traffic through and around work zones, McHenry County College’s Continuing and Professional Education Department is offering a four-hour National Safety Council Flagger Training Certificate Course once a month.
The next session will take place from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the Shah Center, 4100 West Shamrock Lane, McHenry, in Room 121. The instructor is Bob Gagnon who will teach flagging procedures and proper use of required equipment through classroom activities and hands-on training. The flagger training course is available for both novice and experienced construction zone flaggers. In addition to controlling traffic through work areas, the program aims to minimize confusion by bringing standard flagging procedures to our nation's highways.
Flagger training sessions scheduled for 2011 are: Jan. 14, Feb. 11, March 11, April 15, and May 13.
Cost is $119 per session. To register, call the MCC Registration Office at (815) 455-8588. For more information, call Dee Comella at (815) 479-7591
