Sexual Harassment Prevention (SHP) Training

Purpose

Training raises awareness among Coast Guard personnel of behaviors that constitute sexual harassment and teaches how to prevent and eliminate such behavior.

Requirement

All Coast Guard personnel – active and reserve military, civilian (including non-appropriated funds (NAF) employees) – must receive SHP Training annually, starting within 90 days of accession into the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard Auxiliarists receive training as part of the basic qualification process and shall comply with the requirements of the Auxiliary Manual, COMDTINST M1690.1 (series).

Note: SHP Training is included in HRA Training and is not required as a stand-alone session during a year when HRA training is conducted.

Delivery

For the cutter fleet and other units with incompatible Internet connectivity, SHP training must be delivered by the EOA. Scheduling occurs in the same manner as HRA training, except with different frequency. For all other units, SHP is delivered through a combination of computer-based training and command-facilitated discussion. The discussion shall include:

Reinforcing policies;
Expressing personal commitment; and
Answering questions.

The SHP Training Facilitator’s Guide is available in CG Central in the General Military Training section under the Learning Tab. The training materials emphasize the command’s commitment to a workplace free of harassment and the process for resolving incidents at the lowest level.

Documentation

Maintaining proper records is essential to facilitating accomplishment of the training objectives, and preventing redundancy and gaps in training.

The unit CRO shall ensure proper documentation of training in TMT. The TMT code is GMT-010.

The unit CRO shall email or otherwise report, the respective Area, District, MLC, CGHQ or CRO, indicating completion of SHP Training and number of personnel trained.
