Nevada is one of the few states where an OSHA Outreach card is required by state law. Construction workers need an OSHA-10 card within 15 days of hire and supervisors an OSHA-30 card; the entertainment industry has a similar rule with a 5-year card. Nevada also asks most employers for a written safety program. Here is what the statutes say.
Who Nevada OSHA covers
According to OSHA's State Plan page, Nevada's plan, run by the Division of Industrial Relations, covers private-sector workplaces, with some exceptions, and state and local government employers; federal employers stay with federal OSHA.
Construction: OSHA-10 and OSHA-30 within 15 days
- A construction worker obtains an OSHA-10 completion card not later than 15 days after being hired; a supervisory employee, an OSHA-30 card (NRS 618.983).
- If the card is not presented within 15 days, the employer suspends or terminates the employment (NRS 618.987). Fines for the employer: up to $500 the first time, up to $1,000 the second, then the penalty for a willful violation (NRS 618.990).
- Only trainers authorized by federal OSHA and registered with the Division may teach the courses, and the Division keeps a public registry to verify cards (NRS 618.977, 618.980).
- The Nevada Department of Transportation is excluded (NRS 618.970).
Entertainment and other industries
Workers at theaters, showrooms, arenas, sound stages and production sites need an OSHA-10 card (supervisors OSHA-30) within 15 days of starting work on a site, unless employed by one employer for less than 15 consecutive days. These cards expire after 5 years and are renewed with a new course or job-specific continuing education (NRS 618.9911). Nevada law has similar sections for convention services and cannabis establishments: check their text before you plan.
A written safety program for most employers
Under NRS 618.383, an employer with more than 10 employees establishes a written safety program, carried out within 90 days, with a training program in a language employees understand; with more than 25 employees, a safety committee with employee representatives. NRS 618.376 adds a signed document or video on safety rights and duties for every new hire, kept in the personnel file.
Where a quiz fits
An OSHA-10 card is a voluntary federal Outreach credential that Nevada makes mandatory; it does not replace the training federal standards require, such as fall protection training in construction (29 CFR 1926.503). A review quiz before the course, and a named Test mode record after your own site training, fit around it. Quizhat does not issue OSHA cards.
A short quiz on your safety program, played live from phones at the end of a session, shows what people actually understood, not only who signed the sheet. When you need evidence, run the same quiz in Test mode (Trainer plan): each worker answers under their own name, you set the pass mark, and you download a PDF learning assessment record with the date, the topic, the trainer, each person's answers and result, and a signature column. It sits next to the training records the state asks for; it does not replace the training, and Quizhat never certifies anyone. Quizhat is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA.
State rules change: read the current text on the state's site, or ask the state agency, before you rely on this summary. Nevada's Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) helps employers.
