EM 385-1-1 8-Hour Refresher Training
Our 8-Hour EM 385-1-1 Refresher Training is based on the EM 385-1-1 manual, which sets the safety and health standards for all military construction projects. When working on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects, safety is not optional; it is a requirement. This course helps you stay compliant and confident on the job.
Each year, Site Safety and Health Officers (SSHOs) who have completed the initial certification must complete at least 8 hours of continuing safety education. This refresher course fulfills that requirement, keeping you up to date on the latest health and safety practices that protect both workers and government property.
You will revisit the core responsibilities of an SSHO, learn about emerging hazards on contractor sites, and reinforce procedures critical for compliance with USACE standards. Whether you are overseeing teams, ensuring site safety, or working as a contractor on military projects, this course will strengthen your knowledge and sharpen your ability to maintain safe, hazard-free work environments.
