The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) requires that every food establishment have a certified food protection manager (CFPM) on-site during all hours of operation to oversee food safety. Managers must pass an exam from an approved, accredited certification program every five years.

Yes, every establishment must have a person in charge who has earned a food protection manager certification present during all operating hours to oversee and direct food preparation and service activities.
CFPMs are responsible for overseeing food preparation, storage, and service in their establishments to prevent foodborne illness. They must also be able to apply Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles and demonstrate knowledge of the Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 446 in order to ensure their establishment remains in compliance with the DPBH’s regulations.
Most food establishments must have a CFPM on the premises during all hours of operation. Low-risk or temporary establishments may have more flexibility, but local health authorities ultimately determine what qualifies as "low-risk."
