Training Process

This 24 Hour EM‑385‑1‑1 course is designed to help workers meet the essential safety and health training requirements for personnel working on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or other Department of Defense (DOD) contracted sites, as outlined in the EM-385-1-1 manual. Additional Training Depending on your work site, job role, or specific EM-385 requirements, additional or supplemental training may be necessary. The Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) is responsible for informing employees of any job-specific training needed to perform their duties safely. Site-specific, Employer-provided Training Workers must complete further training on site-specific hazards when required by federal, state, or local regulations. Training should cover the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency procedures, and it must be documented. Using qualified training providers ensures credibility and strengthens company safety programs. Site-specific instruction should focus on the employer’s approach to hazard prevention, including the use of on-site equipment, safety policies, and emergency protocols. SSHO and CDSO Training To qualify as an SSHO, employees must complete a 30-hour OSHA General Industry or Construction safety course or equivalent EM‑385 safety training. EM‑385 completion is also a key component for Collateral Duty Safety Officers (CDSO), along with hazard recognition, risk management, mishap reporting, and compliance with local SOPs.
