About This Course
This course is for any contractor and their employees working on sites following 2024 EM 385-1-1 USACE rules. Training on the specific requirements must be done in order to ensure compliance. EM 385-1-1, the Engineers Manual released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), lays out the standards that need to be followed for the safest possible work environment on military and other projects. Find out how it's different from CFR 1910 and 1926 regulations, and what extra steps your team needs to take to keep the worksite safe.
Starting March 15, 2024, military and contract workers on projects bid after this date are required to complete this training even if they recently completed the previous version.
Not following EM 385 rules can lead to hefty fines on the job site, so it's vital for every team member to get the right training. This 16-Hour EM 385-1-1 online course covers everything needed for employees who are not in supervisory roles.
Updated to train the standards outlined in the 2024 EM 385-1-1 USACE manual, this course is easier to follow and better organized to get you back to the worksite faster.
