Course Details:
There are 4 levels of Maintenance of Traffic training in Florida.
Basic Training (Flagger):
The MOT Basic or Flagging course certifies a person to direct traffic through a construction site or other temporary traffic control zone past an area using signs or flags. They are responsible for maintaining the safety and efficiency of traffic, as well as the safety of road workers, while allowing construction, accident recovery or other tasks to proceed. Flaggers are commonly used to control traffic when two way roads are reduced to one lane, and traffic must alternate in direction. (Link to Flagger)
Restricted Activities Training:
This course is required for everyone who has the direct responsibility for placement of work zone traffic control devices in the utility industry only. Since this course limits what your employees can do most companies even utility companies provide intermediate level of training for their employees. (Link to Restricted)
Intermediate Training:
This course is required for all persons with duties that include the direct responsibility for: placement of work zone traffic control devices; field maintenance of work zone traffic control devices; the inspection of the placement or operational function of work zone traffic control devices; and drafting or electronic generation of work zone traffic control plans.
Intermediate Refresher:
This course is available to those who have a current intermediate MOT but is expiring shortly. All participants enrolled in the IMOT Refresher course must provide the instructor with a government issued identification and a copy of their current MOT intermediate (or intermediate refresher) certification. Safety Links, Inc. is not permitted to issue certifications until these documentation requirements are fulfilled. (Link to Refresher)
Advanced Training:
This course is required for personnel with responsibility or authority to decide on the specific maintenance of traffic requirements to be implemented such as the engineer responsible for the work zone traffic control plan development.
