Kan. Admin. Regs. 28-72 § K.A.R. 28-72-1g
Definition.
Operative Text
In addition to the definitions in K.S.A. 65-1,201 and amendments thereto, the following term shall have the meaning assigned in this regulation: "Guest instructor" means an individual who is designated by the training manager or principal instructor and who provides instruction specific to the lectures, hands-on work activities, or work practice components of a course. Each guest instructor shall be directly employed and monetarily compensated by the accredited training provider. A guest instructor shall not teach more than seven calendar days each quarter. Each guest instructor shall be KDHE-certified in the training course or in an associated advanced training course for which the guest instructor will be providing instruction. If a guest instructor is utilized, KDHE shall be notified at least 24 hours before the training course begins.
K.A.R. 28-72-1g establishes the regulatory definition of a 'guest instructor' within Kansas's accredited training program framework. Under this provision, a guest instructor is someone designated by a training manager or principal instructor to deliver specific portions of a course—lectures, hands-on activities, or work practice components—but is subject to strict limitations: no more than seven calendar days of teaching per quarter, mandatory KDHE certification in the relevant or an associated advanced course, direct employment and monetary compensation by the accredited training provider, and at least 24 hours' advance notice to KDHE before the course begins. This definition supplements the broader terms already established in K.S.A. 65-1,201.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Although K.A.R. 28-72-1g is primarily directed at accredited training providers rather than residential landlords, property owners who sponsor or arrange regulated training programs—such as lead or asbestos abatement courses—should understand that any guest instructor used in those programs must meet all conditions set out in this regulation. Compliant training providers ensure that guest instructors are directly employed and compensated by the provider, hold current KDHE certification in the applicable course area, teach no more than seven calendar days per quarter, and that KDHE receives notification at least 24 hours before the course starts. Operators who oversee training programs as part of their compliance obligations should verify these requirements are met before scheduling any guest instructor.

K.A.R. 28-72-1g is a definitional provision that governs the qualifications and use of guest instructors in KDHE-accredited training courses, such as those covering lead or hazardous materials work in residential settings. Tenants generally benefit indirectly from this rule because it helps ensure that workers performing regulated activities in their homes are trained by properly credentialed instructors operating within defined limits. Tenants who have concerns about whether workers in their unit received compliant training may contact KDHE or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what oversight mechanisms are available under K.A.R. 28-72.
