Do I need OSHA 10 in Nevada?

Nevada law requires it only if your job falls under one of its OSHA training statutes, which cover construction, entertainment, convention services and cannabis establishments. A worker who isn't a supervisor needs an OSHA-10 card within 15 days, or within 1 year at a cannabis establishment. Each statute has its own exceptions, and a supervisor needs a different card.

How to get it done

  1. Step 1. Check your job against the statute for your industry. The construction rules skip the Department of Transportation and its employees on duty. A supervisory employee needs an OSHA-30 card instead, on the same clock.

  2. Step 2. Except for cannabis work, the card has to come from an approved course. Before you sign up, ask to see the trainer's current Authorized Trainer card.

  3. Step 3. OSHA says the 10-hour class is meant for workers, and the 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors. Stage, film and cannabis work need the OSHA-10 General Industry course, building sites need the OSHA-10 Construction course, and trade shows accept either.

  4. Step 4. A trainer has to issue your card within 90 days of the class. For construction, the statute requires a public online registry where anyone can check whether someone completed an OSHA-10 or OSHA-30 course.

Before you pay

Ask your employer before you pay for a class, since your job decides which card you need.

Trainers work independently, and their fees and schedules vary. Compare more than one.

Questions

What if I don't have the card in time?

In construction, if a worker other than a supervisory employee fails to present a current and valid OSHA-10 card within 15 days of being hired, the employer must suspend or terminate the worker.

Does the card expire?

Under Nevada's entertainment and convention-services statutes, a card used to meet the rule expires 5 years after it is issued. OSHA says its construction and general industry student cards never expire.

Does OSHA itself require the class?

No. OSHA says its Outreach program is voluntary, and whoever mandates training decides what it accepts.

What to do next

Ask your employer whether your job falls under one of these statutes, then pick a trainer from OSHA's Find a Trainer page. The rules are in Nevada's OSHA training statutes.
