À savoir avant l’examen

Alberta's Traffic Accommodation in Work Zones manual sets minimum requirements for work under the ministry's contracts, agreements, permits and authorizations.
All flagpersons must be certified, and their certification must be readily available.
Flagperson coveralls must meet CSA Z96 Class 3 Level 2 and be fluorescent yellow-green with silver retroreflective striping.
At night, flagpersons use hand-held red signal wands and flagging stations are lit by overhead lighting.
Speed fines are doubled in Alberta when construction workers, or a stopped roadside vehicle with flashing lights, are present.

Questions fréquentes

Can a security guard act as a flagger on an Alberta highway?

Only if they are certified as a flagperson as the work zone manual and the contract require. A security licence alone does not make you a flagperson.

Who provides flagger certification in Alberta?

Your employer arranges it. The contract, permit or authorization for the job sets the requirement, so ask your employer which flagger course is accepted.

What speed applies where flaggers work on a two-lane highway?

The 2018 manual lists a 50 km/h work zone speed on two-lane highways where flagpersons or traffic lights control traffic. Always follow the signs posted at the site.

Do drivers have to obey flaggers in Alberta?

Yes. Alberta's roadside worker safety rules tell drivers to obey directions by flag people, and speed fines are doubled when workers are present.

L’attestation est-elle accréditée ou reconnue officiellement ?

Non. C’est une attestation de réussite privée, uniquement pour vos connaissances. Elle n’est reconnue, accréditée ni approuvée par aucun gouvernement, organisme de délivrance des permis, autorité de réglementation ou établissement d’enseignement, et elle ne remplace aucun permis, aucune certification ni aucune formation exigés par la loi.
