Go to the Outreach Trainers website. This website was established as part of an OSHA Training Institute grant. OSHA encourages all authorized outreach trainers to add their profile and training schedules to this site. This site allows individuals and organizations to search by type of training or geographically for trainers and training to assist them in meeting their training needs. OSHA refers the website to persons looking for outreach training.
In addition, check to see if the trainer has registered to conduct these classes in the Trainers section.
Nevada OSHA Enforcement.
The general contractor must comply with all requirements of the statute for their employees only.
An employer only has responsibility for their own employees (no employees no responsibility). They are not responsible for employees of subcontractors under this statute.
Generally speaking, an employer may legally do so according to the Nevada Office of the Labor Commissioner. An employer may require a prospective employee to present their OSHA 10 or 30 Hour Course Completion card or proof of training prior to hiring them. In this situation, the costs associated with obtaining this training could lie with the prospective employee.
Since this question again involves labor law, employers should contact one of the two Nevada Offices of the Labor Commissioner (Las Vegas (702) 486-2650 and Carson City (775) 687-4850) for more specific guidance.
