EM 385-1-1 annual SSHO documentation

EM 385-1-1 SSHO Annual 8-Hour Compliance Package

Six existing online safety courses, 8.25 measured documented hours, and one consolidated annual transcript after every component course is complete.

Important boundary: This package provides 8 documented hours of safety and health coursework toward the annual requirement for Site Safety and Health Officers under EM 385-1-1. It is not the 40-hour EM 385-1-1 course, not an OSHA 30-Hour card, not SSHO certification, and not USACE or Army Corps approval.

Built as a documented-hours package, not a new video course

The annual SSHO need is documented safety and health coursework. This package bundles courses already in the catalog and adds the missing compliance artifact: a single verifiable annual transcript that summarizes the component certificates.

Questions

What does EM 385-1-1 require of an SSHO each year?

EM 385-1-1 requires a Site Safety and Health Officer to complete at least 8 hours of documented safety and health coursework annually. This package documents that annual coursework requirement.

Does online or self-study coursework count?

The annual coursework requirement allows documented formal, online, or self-study safety and health coursework. This package is online and self-paced, with a single verifiable transcript after completion.

Is this the 40-hour EM 385-1-1 course?

No. This is not the 40-hour EM 385-1-1 course. It is an annual documented-hours package for people who need safety and health coursework records.

Does this replace OSHA 30?

No. This package is not an OSHA 30-Hour card course and does not replace an OSHA 30 requirement.

What documentation do I receive?

Each component course issues its own certificate. After all component courses are complete, the package issues one Annual Training Transcript listing course title, standard, documented hours, completion date, and certificate ID.

Can my contracting officer verify it?

Yes. The annual transcript carries a unique ID and public verification URL at /verify/<id>, so a contracting officer can check it independently.
