What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an ATSSA Flagger, and why are they important?

To thrive as an ATSSA Flagger, you must have a solid understanding of traffic control procedures, safety regulations, and typically possess an ATSSA Flagger Certification. Familiarity with hand signaling devices, two-way radios, and personal protective equipment is essential. Attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are standout soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the safety of workers, drivers, and pedestrians in roadway work zones by maintaining efficient and secure traffic flow.

What are ATSSA Flaggers?

ATSSA Flaggers are trained professionals certified by the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) to direct traffic safely around road construction sites, utility work, or other temporary traffic disruptions.
