In the USA to be a supervisor on a WORKSITE are you trained in the 30 method.

OSHA 30-hour Construction Training Course. OSHA recommends Outreach Training Programs as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Construction workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on specific hazards of the job.

Did your state pass a law where you don’t have to renew your card yearly like NEVADA

The Nevada State legislature passed SB 233, which removes the requirement for a 10/30 hour refresher course for those holding 10 or 30 hour construction cards. The Governor signed this bill, and it became law as of June 10, 2015.  But work outside the state and you need to renew your OSHA training, because that law only is good in the state of Nevada!

This means that if a person has the 10 or 30 hour OSHA construction card, Nevada no longer requires that they have refresher training, and the card is considered valid regardless of the date of issue. 

It is still required that a person have an OSHA 10 or 30 hour construction card in order to work on a construction site in the state of Nevada.

Although OSHA does not require any employee to complete the 30-hour course, the training course may be required by state law or employer rules. And although currently, the OSHA 10/30 card does not have an expiration date associated with it. Most companies will require that employees retake the class every 3-5 years depending on who you work for (or who your company is working for).

While the OSHA 10/30 card does not expire, the topics covered during the class have annual or bi-annual refresher training required. This means that if you take the OSHA 10/30 course one year, you will have to get training on most of the topics either every year or every other year.

Out of the 25 states with OSHA-approved programs, seven states make the 10-hour course mandatory for employees, with Nevada the only state that also mandates the 30-hour course. All supervisory employees in Nevada must obtain an OSHA 30-hour card within 15 days of being hired, and the card must be renewed every five years. In addition to government requirements, some private companies or worker unions may require their employees to obtain an OSHA 30-hour card as a condition of employment. Also, the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island now require by law a minimum of 10 hours of OSHA safety training to work on a public jobsite. The State of Nevada has taken their requirements a step further with a minimum of 10 hour training for construction workers and a minimum of 30 hours of safety training for supervisors and superintendents. Nevada also requires continuing safety education to maintain 10 and 30 hour current certification:

30-Hour Card Requirements

OSHA specifies standards for each 30-hour course in subject areas of general industry, construction and maritime. For example, the 30-hour general industry program must include 13 hours of mandatory topics, such as two hours for emergency exit routes and action plans and one hour for personal protective equipment. The training courses must be conducted by a certified OSHA trainer in the applicable subject area. The qualifications for a trainer include five years of general industry safety experience and completion of mandatory course work
