Purpose:
This three-day course prepares USACE personnel to conduct accident investigations, including Safety Investigation Boards (SIBs), in full
compliance with Army and USACE regulatory requirements. Participants will learn to classify accidents, collect evidence, analyze causal factors
using structured methodologies such as HFACS, and produce regulation-compliant reports and out-briefs. The course also reinforces standardized
accident reporting protocols and provides detailed instruction on the proper completion and use of ENG Form 3394, ensuring accuracy,
consistency, and compliance in documenting and investigating mishaps across USACE operations.
Description:
The foundational references for this course include EM 385-1-1 (USACE Safety and Occupational Health Requirements Manual), ER/EP 385-1-99
(USACE Accident Reporting and Investigation), and DA PAM 385-40 (Army Accident Investigation and Reporting). Collectively, these
publications establish the regulatory framework and standardized procedures that govern USACE accident investigation and reporting practices.
Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of regulatory requirements and the accident investigation process from initiation through
final reporting. Instruction is delivered through a blended format that integrates classroom learning, guided discussions, and team-based practical
exercises. This approach strengthens technical proficiency while promoting collaboration, critical thinking, and the effective application of
investigative skills in realistic scenarios. This course fulfills the current accident investigation training requirement for personnel seeking credit
toward the Professional Certificate in Safety and Occupational Health (PCSOH).
Prerequisites:
Each student is required to bring a laptop equipped with valid CAC credentials for the USACE network to ensure access to all required
