Why Safety Training for Traffic Control Persons?

[road signs] [road signs]

More than 70 traffic control persons in BC have been injured in the past five years, many of them seriously. Three of them have been killed in that time. Similar statistics exist across Canada.

Sometimes students with little or no experience or training are used as Traffic Control persons. Quality Safety Training is needed to instruct and train TCP's and thus prevent injuries and deaths.

This course focuses on a pro-active approach to traffic control with special emphasis on worker protection and attitude.
