SafeLife Pedestrian training

With the responsibility to promote the safety and security of all people who use the streets, our team makes sure their traffic managers are well qualified and receive the proper training to perform their duties.

Dealing with the Public

Responsibility

• Understand and apply safe traffic control practices, sometimes in emergency situations
  
• Recognize dangerous traffic situations and warn the general public in sufficient time to avoid injury.
  

Training

Experience

SafeLife requires all its managers to attend on-going monthly training. SafeLife managers are not permitted back on the job site until they pass annual refresher written and practical tests.

SafeLife Pedestrian managers shall have at least five years experience as a military flagger or service security. Many traffic managers have some law-enforcement experience.

SafeLife Pedestrian Managers training for each traffic manager includes certification by the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA). Following their ATSSA Certification, each SafeLife manager completes a 2-hour NYC training course consisting of class-room instruction along with a practical and written test. SafeLife Pedestrial Managers training ensures traffic managers have the ability to:

• Receive and communicate specific instructions clearly, firmly and courteously.
  
• Move and maneuver quickly to avoid danger from errant vehicles
