Flaggers. It is agreed by placing the classification of flaggers under Group IIA that when in the opinion of the Employer the “uniform” has the effect of better control of traffic and thereby protects the public and the workmen on major arterials or severely congested city streets or highways, the Employer may use off duty uniformed policemen without violation of this Labor Agreement. However, the Employer may not use retired policemen or security guards. Further, it is the intent to use Laborers who are certified as flaggers where possible. Where conditions are normal, it is the intent to use Laborers to do on-the-job flagging, on new roads or street construction and on sewer and other work in residential or rural areas.
Flaggers. Any time there is only a single lane of traffic passing a construction zone, two (2) flaggers shall be provided by the Contractor to direct only one-way traffic in either direction at phased intervals. Each flagger shall be equipped with an orange safety vest, which will be reflectorized if working in low lighting conditions, orange flags mounted on wooden staffs.
Flaggers. Flaggers or other appropriate traffic control shall be used wherever there is a doubt that signs, signals, and barricades can achieve effective protection.
Flaggers. Designate in writing, a flagger instructor who will serve as a flagging supervisor and is responsible for training and assuring that all flaggers are qualified to perform flagging duties. Certify to the Engineer that all flaggers will be trained and make available upon request a list of flaggers trained to perform flagging duties.
