Corporate Training By Zack Academy - VDOT Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control Training

Why Should You Take This VDOT Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control Training Course?

As traffic volumes increase and the need to repair and improve roadways becomes greater, so does the need to plan, install, and review work zone traffic control to effectively and safely perform the work. Federal requirements now instruct state and local governments to train personnel in work zone traffic control relevant to the job decisions that each individual is required to make. This workshop provides training needed to properly install and monitor work zones for construction and maintenance projects for long-term (greater than three consecutive days) operations. 

This VDOT Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control Training course provides comprehensive training on work zone standards, guidelines, installations and removal procedures, inspection, liability, documentation and supervisory skills needed for the state of Virginia. Several workshops included in this course are designed to provide hands-on experience implementing and modifying temporary traffic control plans for various real-life situations. It also teaches how to recognize, analyze, correct, and document deficiencies.

Intended Audience:  Individuals involved in construction-type activities who supervise field personnel who have responsibility for placement of and/or maintenance of work zone traffic control devices, including inspection personnel, contractor supervisors, and public works supervisory personnel.
