The Only Edition You’ll Ever Need
More than a year in development, this Chief of Safety Annotated Edition contains the complete, unaltered text of EM 385-1-1 (15 March 2024) — enhanced with nearly 2,000 expert annotations from Dr. Christopher S. Rainwater, former Chief of Safety for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District. This is the man who enforced EM 385-1-1 on billions of dollars in federal contracts — now putting that insight directly in your hands.
