EM385 Training
Learn to promote a safe workplace through EM385 Training
Course Description: To enhance the awareness of Site Safety & Health Officers (SSHOs) and other project personnel performing work on Federal construction, service, and environmental contracts, and to provide all contractor on-site personnel an opportunity to obtain adequate knowledge to assess unsafe worksite conditions, U.S. Safety utilizes the USACE/NAVFAC Safety Hazard Awareness Course. This course is similar to the 40-hr USACE/NAVFAC Construction Hazard Awareness Course offered to USACE/NAVFAC personnel, except for subjects not applicable to contractors.
The SSHO, as a minimum, must have completed the 30-hour OSHA Construction safety class or as an equivalent, 30 hours of formal construction safety and health training covering the subjects of the OSHA 30-hour course (see Appendix A, paragraph 4.b) applicable to the work to be performed and given by qualified instructors. If the SSHO has the permitted equivalent training, he/she is also required to have five (5) years of construction industry safety experience or three (3) years if he possesses a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or safety and health degree.
