- Inspecting the work zone throughout the day to make sure signs and devices remain in the correct positions.
- Operating company vehicles and, when trained, towing trailers or using equipment such as message boards and attenuator trucks.
- Communicating with supervisors, contractors, and crews about traffic conditions and any needed changes.
- Responding quickly to emergencies, accidents, or changing traffic conditions to keep the public and workers safe.
