Nev. Admin. Code § 459.792 - Inspections: Requests by employees

1. Any worker or representative of workers who believes that a violation of chapter 459 of NRS, NAC 459.010 to 459.794, inclusive, or license conditions exists or has occurred in work under a license or a registration with regard to radiological working conditions in which the worker is engaged, may request an inspection by giving notice of the alleged violation to the Division. Any such notice must be in writing, set forth the specific grounds for the notice, and must be signed by the worker or representative of the workers. A copy must be given to the licensee or registrant by the Division no later than at the time of inspection except that, upon the request of the worker giving the notice, his or her name and the name of the persons referred to therein must not be disclosed in any copy or on any record published, released or made available by the Division, except for good cause shown.

2. If, upon receipt of the notice, the Division determines that the complaint meets the requirements in subsection 1, and that there is a reasonable ground to believe that the alleged violation exists or has occurred, the Division shall cause an inspection to be made as soon as practicable, to determine whether the alleged violation exists or has occurred. Inspections pursuant to this section need not be limited to matters referred to in the complaint.

3. No licensee or registrant may discharge or in any manner discriminate against any worker because the worker has filed any complaint, instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under NAC 459.010 to 459.794, inclusive, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding or because the worker, on behalf of himself or herself or others, has exercised any option afforded by NAC 459.780 to 459.794, inclusive.
