This 3-day certification course includes presentations, exercises, videos, and references to Federal and State highway construction and Traffic Control standards. Participants receive a comprehensive reference manual and other reference materials to assist with on-the-job practical issues and performance standards. Once successfully completed, certification is valid for 3 years. Students will also receive an Oregon State Flagger Card.
Note: you are responsible for maintaining your own Flagger Certification once issued, it is not included with TCS recertification.
Renewing the certification is accomplished by attending and successfully completing a 1-day Oregon Traffic Control Supervisor Recertification class.
To Qualify for the Traffic Control Supervisor Recertification Course you must submit the following information to Evergreen Safety Council:
Note: If your TCS card expires, you have sixty days to take the one-day recertification. However, you cannot work as a certified TCS if your card is expired.
If you have a current TCS card from ATSSA, WA or ID and would like to get certified in Oregon, you can take the 1-day Oregon TCS recertification class.
You must provide us with a copy of your TCS certification (it cannot be expired) and a copy of your current State approved flagger card (Idaho, Montana, Oregon
and Washington).
