OSHA Training in Casper WY

The State of Wyoming operates an approved State OSHA program, and therefore regulates most OSHA training for workers in Casper WY. The Wyoming State Plan was initially approved on May 3, 1974, and was granted final state plan approval on June 27, 1985.

WY OSHA Training Regulations and Standards

The Wyoming State Plan adopts all Federal standards identically except for 1910 Subpart A, B, and C, and 1926 Subpart A and B, which have been reworded to reflect the Wyoming’s Safety Act. Wyoming has also adopted the federal record-keeping and reporting requirements identical to the federal rule, 29 CFR 1904.

Wyoming has unique standards that cover Oil and Gas Well Drilling, Servicing, Special Servicing and Anchor Tester Requirements. Federal OSHA does not have specific standards for this industry.

With “The Oil City” serving as a central hub for oil and gas activities in the Rocky Mountain region, H₂S certification training is essential for Wyoming’s oilfield workers.

Additionally, Wyoming’s high summer temperatures put outdoor and industrial workers at risk for heat-related illnesses. Our Heat Stress Prevention Training provides critical knowledge to stay safe in extreme conditions.

Since Wyoming does not have jurisdiction in maritime industries, the state has not adopted 29 CFR 1915, 1916, 1917, or 1918 or a state equivalent.

Jurisdiction

The Wyoming State Plan applies to all public and private sector places of employment in Casper and the rest of the state of Wyoming, with the exception of Federal employees (including those employed at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks), the United States Postal Service (USPS), private sector maritime, employment at Warren Air Force Base and at the Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserve in Casper, and certain agricultural related operations (field sanitation and temporary labor camps), which are subject to Federal OSHA jurisdiction.
