Product Details
Description
This 8-hour EM 385-1-1: 2024 Overview course—offered through the EST Safety Network in partnership with ClickSafety—provides a concise overview of each chapter of the 2024 Edition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Safety and Occupational Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).
When completing projects for the United States government, contractors and their employees are subject to health and safety rules that go beyond standard OSHA requirements. The EM 385-1-1 manual, developed by USACE in collaboration with the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), governs safety requirements on federal projects. The 2024 Edition—effective March 15, 2024—supersedes the previous 2014 edition with significant revisions.
This course highlights key changes and updates from the 2024 revision, assisting Site Safety and Health Officers (SSHOs), contractors, military personnel, and others in understanding and adhering to the updated regulations. While many EM 385-1-1 requirements align with OSHA standards, some specific requirements exceed them.
