Traffic Control Safety in British Columbia: Our Mission to Protect Workers First

For more than 23 years, Safe Start Safety Ltd. has provided professional traffic control services in British Columbia with one clear priority: worker safety comes first — always.

Traffic Control Persons (TCPs) face some of the highest risks on any job site. Our mission is simple and unwavering:

we use every possible safety measure before ever placing a TCP in harm’s way.

Industry-Leading Traffic Control Safety Standards

As an experienced traffic control company in BC, we understand that effective traffic management is about more than cones and signs — it’s about risk elimination, hazard control, and proactive planning.

Our safety-first approach includes:

Engineered traffic control plans compliant with WorkSafeBC and the BC Traffic Management Manual

Use of Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs) wherever feasible

Proper lane closure design, taper lengths, buffer zones, and sight-line management

Advanced warning signage that protects workers and motorists alike

We believe a TCP should never be the first line of defense.

Engineering controls and equipment come first. People come last.

Reducing Risk for Traffic Control Persons (TCPs)

Every decision we make is guided by one question:

How do we reduce risk before a worker steps onto the roadway?

Our traffic control solutions focus on:

Minimizing worker exposure to live traffic

Reducing reliance on hand-flagging where safer alternatives exist

Protecting workers from distracted and speeding drivers

Adapting plans to real-world conditions — weather, terrain, traffic volume, and visibility

This proactive approach has made us a trusted name in traffic control services across British Columbia.
