This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

In a highway work zone, the thing most likely to kill you is a vehicle — and more often than not it belongs to your own crew, not the traveling public. This course covers the signs, signals, and barricades rules in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart G, the temporary traffic control framework in Part 6 of the MUTCD, the four TTC zones and taper geometry, channelizing devices, flagger signaling and station placement, high-visibility apparel, night work, and the internal traffic control practices that keep workers on foot away from moving equipment. IMPORTANT — this is an AWARENESS course, not a flagger certification. Completing it does NOT certify or qualify you to flag. Most states and state DOTs require a state-approved flagger certification, and many require an in-person or hands-on evaluation and periodic renewal. Your employer is responsible for ensuring every flagger is trained and certified to the requirements of the state and agency you are working in. Issues a Migna certificate of completion.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 46 minutes of training means it. The 57 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.
