Abstract: Stressing the responsibility of flaggers for the life-or-death safety of everyone working in or near the work zone, this video illustrates safe flagging procedures to protect the flagger, the work crew, and the public, in many applications.

The video covers flagging equipment, personal protective equipment, environmental considerations, visibility, where to position the flagger, and more.
