EM 385 Training
Are you a contractor? Do you have plans on pursuing any government construction contracts? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then the EM 385 training is absolutely necessary before you even start the bidding process for government construction contracts.
Why is it necessary to have the EM 385-1-1 training? In the event of a contracting officer finding a violation on a government construction project, you could be fined up to $2,000 per day until it is remedied, and your work will be halted until compliance is satisfied. Imagine that the violation takes 14 days or even a month to correct. The fine could greatly impact your profit. EM 385 training gives you the knowledge needed to successfully win a bid for government construction work. In many cases, your bid will be rejected if it does not include a site-specific safety plan that meets all EM 385-1-1 requirements. OSHA Pros is dedicated to providing helpful information and OSHA training courses for contractors and more.

While this training may sound similar to OSHA 29 CFR 1926, there are several differences. EM 385 requires regular activity hazard analyses as well as the customized accident prevention plan mentioned previously. Also, EM 385 places a bigger importance on job site inspection and employee training for better accident prevention.
EM 385 Training and Certification
Unlike OSHA’s requirements, EM 385 mandates that trainers are required to submit detailed lists of subjects covered with the trainee. Continuing education is also required, and the requirements are stricter than OSHA’s. When it comes to confined space training, EM 385-1-1 training takes a much more in-depth approach to training and requirements while OSHA simply requires alerting workers that they are entering a confined space. These are just a few examples of important differences that could affect you during a government construction project. This training is required for anyone working on government construction projects, including military employees, government employees, and civilian contractors.
