Nevada OSHA FAQs

What is the difference between Nevada OSHA and federal OSHA?

OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. At the federal level, OSHA creates standards that ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers all over the country.

Some states, such as Nevada, have created State Plans. These plans are OSHA-approved workplace safety and health programs that the state individually operates. Nevada’s State Plan includes state-specific regulations that are at least as strict as federal OSHA regulations.

Will my Nevada certificate and OSHA 30 card expire?

No, your Nevada certification and OSHA 30 card will never expire. Some employers may require you to complete refresher training every few years to ensure you are up to date on workplace safety and health protocols. You can contact your employer for more information on refresher training requirements for your role.

How long will it take to complete the course?

This course contains 30 hours of federal OSHA Outreach Training and three hours of Nevada-specific training, so the program will take at least 33 hours to complete.

OSHA has mandated that students can spend no more than 7.5 hours per day in OSHA Outreach training, so you will spend at least four days completing the federal OSHA portion of your training. Nevada-specific OSHA training does not count toward the 7.5-hour daily limit.

What is an OSHA 30 DOL card?

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issues OSHA 30 cards to workers who complete 30 hours of OSHA Outreach training on industry-specific workplace safety topics.

The OSHA 30 card is wallet-sized and printed on durable plastic. You can present your card nationwide as proof of training.

When will I receive my Nevada OSHA certificate and OSHA 30 DOL Card?

Your official plastic OSHA 30 DOL Wallet Card will be mailed to you, typically six to eight weeks after course completion.
