Certified Construction Flaggers You Can Count On in Tacoma, WA - LaborWorks
When you’re managing a construction operation, safety, as well as keeping everything in motion are absolute requirements. Whether you’re building along a busy highway, installing new utilities, or developing large areas, controlling traffic is part of your job. Construction flaggers make this happen—they are the ones out in front directing cars and pedestrians through while protecting your crew.
In Tacoma, where construction is happening everywhere in the city, having experienced, certified flaggers in your crew isn't only beneficial—it's essential.
On-the-Job Activities of Flaggers
Flaggers have various key roles on the job site. They do so much more than merely hold signs. They're trained professionals who manage through work zones and prevent drivers, pedestrians, and workers themselves from getting hurt. Here's a brief list of what they do:
Â
- Traffic Flow Control: They prevent, divert, and reroute the flow of traffic to prevent collisions and ensure everything operates without issues.
- Clear Communication: They use hand signals, signs, and flagging equipment to ensure drivers know what to do and when.
- Following Safety Rules: Flaggers assist in keeping everything in line, from speed limit signs to road closures—reducing the potential for accidents or injuries.
- Working in All Types of Weather: Rain, snow, nights—flaggers frequently work in adverse weather conditions or low-visibility environments and manage to get the job completed safely.
Need Certified Flaggers in Tacoma? LaborWorks Has You Covered.
Washington state certifies all flaggers and, rightly so. That's why we make sure they are trained well before they set foot in a job site. Our flaggers understand what they're doing, and it's apparent.
Construction flaggers participate in structured training for their certification by:
- Learning to use stop/slow paddles, flags, signs—literally all of the equipment.
- Hand signal mastery and communication skill.
- Preparing for various kinds of traffic, weather conditions, and busy zones.
- Compliance with traffic laws and accident prevention.
- They complete a certification exam to demonstrate what they have learned.
- They keep up with refreshers. Certification isn't permanent, so our flaggers continually update training in order to keep current with new rules, technology, and best practice.
