Your employer's part

This online course does not replace the training your employer must give on your own job: site-specific training, and hands-on practice and evaluation where the rule requires them.

What this course does not do

Completing this course does not designate you. Your employer decides who its designated person is. Your employer must still give you training on your own worksite and its written procedures; this course cannot see your worksite or give you hands-on practice. This course covers Nevada's rule only. California, federal OSHA and other states have different rules. The course is online only.
