§ 8395. The reduction facility licensee, or its authorized representatives, shall provide

(a) The reduction facility licensee, or its authorized representatives, shall provide instruction to all facility personnel involved in the reduction process. This instruction shall lead to a demonstrated knowledge on the part of an employee regarding identification procedures used during reduction, operation of the reduction chamber and related equipment, and all laws relevant to the handling of a body and reduced human remains. 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. (c) A reduction facility that fails, when requested by an official of the bureau, to produce a written employee instruction plan or record of employee training for inspection shall have 15 working days from the time of the request to produce a plan or training record for review by the chief of the bureau. The license of a reduction facility shall be suspended, pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, if no plan or training record is produced for review after 15 working days have elapsed.
