This instruction shall be outlined in a written plan maintained by the reduction facility licensee for inspection and comment by an inspector of the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau.
(b) An employee shall not be allowed to operate a reduction chamber or related equipment until the employee has demonstrated to the certified manager of the reduction facility or authorized representative of the licensee that the employee understands the procedures required to ensure that health and safety conditions are maintained at the reduction facility and that reduced human remains are not commingled other than as authorized by law. The reduction facility licensee shall maintain a record to document that an employee has received the training specified in this section.
