In BC, a traffic control person has approved training and controls traffic on roads near work zones. A traffic assistant only directs vehicles in parking or holding areas and needs workplace training.
What hi-vis do I need for traffic work?
Follow your employer and provincial rules. In BC, traffic control persons wear Class 3 apparel meeting CSA Z96-15 plus high-visibility headgear, and carry a flashlight with a red wand at night.
