I'm on this joint industry/agency traffic safety comittee here in CO and the topic of TCS de-certification has come up.
Once a TCS gets certified, they can screw up, get fired, and then go show up on another job site with thier credentials and set another unsafe closure before they get tossed again. The industry has a word-of-mouth system to screen the bozos out, but it is not a formal process and some slip through.
We have a manditory two day course that is really pretty comprehensive to get a TCS card, but some of those that pass just seem to ignore what they learned. I'm talking about setting lane closures without advance warning signs or arrow boards, driving up the shoulder the wrong way in live traffic, etc.
I understand Wyoming has a de-cert committee to get the few bad actors off the list, do any other states? If so, do you have links or docs I could see? thanks.
