Product Details
Description
This 8-hour EM 385-1-1 Safety & Health Topics course—offered through the EST Safety Network in partnership with ClickSafety—covers key safety and health topics from the 2014 Edition of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Safety and Occupational Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).
This course is designed for SSHOs and government contractors working on projects that were solicited prior to 2024 and continue operating under the 2014 edition of the manual. The EM 385-1-1 manual, developed by USACE in collaboration with NAVFAC, establishes safety requirements on federal projects that in some cases exceed OSHA standards.
SSHOs can take this course once per year to satisfy their annual 8-hour documented training requirement. It also provides general awareness or refresher training for general contractors, military personnel, and other employees assigned to federally funded projects.
