Those who do not provide prerequisite documentation are only eligible for a  course certificates of attendance with applicable PDH credit.

The course covers standard work zone protection as specified in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Sessions on OSHA, NJDOT, and state police relationships and work zone traffic control liability issues are included.
