Provide for adequate training facilities.

The Flagger has read and understood the training materials, understands the safety hazards of
flagging, and is capable of performing flagger activities.
A Flagger who is issued a Flagger Certification Card has passed the flagger examination by obtaining
a passing score.
If an applicant successfully passes the exam, the Proctor issues the applicant a Flagger Certification
Card, valid for two (2) years, with the “date issued” and “expiration date” legibly printed or typed on
the card, along with the Proctor’s signature.
The Proctor instructs Flagger applicants who pass the exam, that they must maintain the Certified
Flagger card on their person while engaged in flagging activities.
The Proctor instructs Flaggers that they may not engage in flagging activities with an expired or lost
card. A replacement card must be obtained.
The applicant has presented, to the Proctor, a government issued photo identification (i.e. driver's
license, state-issued identification card, passport, military ID card, or other government issued
identification).
Require the Proctor to:
Be present throughout the entire examination process.
