NAC459.788. Inspections: Generally; presence of representatives of licensees, registrants and employees.

     1. Each licensee or registrant shall permit the Division, at all reasonable times, an opportunity to inspect materials, machines, activities, facilities, premises and records pursuant to NAC 459.010 to 459.794, inclusive.

     2. During an inspection, division inspectors may consult privately with workers, as specified in NAC 459.790. The licensee or registrant may accompany the Division’s inspectors during other phases of an inspection.

     3. If, at the time of an inspection, a person has been authorized by the workers to represent them during the inspection, the licensee or registrant must notify the inspectors of the authorization and give the workers’ representative an opportunity to accompany the inspectors during the inspection of physical working conditions.

     4. Each workers’ representative must be routinely engaged in work under control of the licensee or registrant and must have received instructions as specified in NAC 459.784.

     5. Different representatives of licensees or registrants and workers may accompany the inspectors during different phases of an inspection if there is no resulting interference with the conduct of the inspection, but only one workers’ representative at a time may accompany the inspectors.

     6. With the approval of the licensee or registrant and the workers’ representative, a person who is not routinely engaged in work under control of the licensee or registrant, for example, a consultant to the licensee or registrant or to the workers’ representative, may be afforded the opportunity to accompany division inspectors during the inspection of physical working conditions.

     7. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, division inspectors may refuse to permit accompaniment by any person who deliberately interferes with a fair and orderly inspection. With regard to any area containing proprietary information, the workers’ representative for that area must be a person previously authorized by the licensee or registrant to enter that area.
