Vanliga frågor
Do I need a flagger certificate to control traffic in Yukon?
Yukon's OHS regulations require written and verbal instructions from your employer. They do not name a certificate. Your employer or the project owner may require a recognized course. This course is background knowledge only and is not that training.
Can a security guard direct traffic on a Yukon road?
Only as an assigned worker at a work zone, with the required instructions and gear, or when police ask for help. A guard is not a peace officer and has no general power to stop traffic.
What hi-vis do I need for traffic control in Yukon?
Level 1 apparel in bright or fluorescent yellow, lime green, red or orange, with retro-reflective trim at least 5 cm wide, plus high-visibility headwear.
Who do I call about an unsafe work zone in Yukon?
Tell your supervisor first. You can also contact the Workers' Safety and Compensation Board at 867-667-5645 or 1-800-661-0443.
