EM 385-1-1 Certified Safety & Health Manager (CEMSM- EM-385)

Course Description

The Federal Government requires contractors to comply with EM385-1-1 Safety and Health requirements training before any work is performed on military job sites. Although there is no official approval process from the United States Government for EM385-1-1 training programs, contracting employees must complete this health and safety training according to various other federal government mandates.

The IASHEP EM385-1-1 Health & Safety training course easily meets and exceeds the standards required by the federal government. This course is specifically designed for contractors, military personnel, and government employees who enforce or must comply with the EM385-1-1 US Army Corps of Engineers safety and health requirements.

While the EM-385 regulations align closely with OSHA rules in the Construction Safety Orders, experienced safety and health professional trainers can sometimes overlook the differences in the specific EM385-1 requirements. This is why the Department of Defense and other government agencies require proof of training that covers the use of the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual.

Students will learn procedures related to the Navy Facility Command and US Army Corps of Engineers contracts, along with the safety and health requirements outlined in the US Army Corps of Engineers Safety & Health Requirements Manual. This ensures that participants fully understand the expectations and responsibilities of working under these federal mandates.

Upon completion of the course, students receive an official OSHA 30 Hour card for Construction. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Site-Specific Accident Prevention Plan (APP), Introduction to OSHA, Site Safety Health Officer's Qualifications & Responsibilities, Activity Hazard Analysis development, Site Personnel training, Incident Response, Job-site Auditing, Hazard Communication, cranes, rigging, electrical safety, personal protective equipment, and much more.
