CHEYENNE, WY. – The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services (DWS) is bringing the 3rd Annual OSHA Roadshow to Cheyenne this year, delivering no-cost, real-world safety training focused squarely on helping industry understand and implement Wyoming’s new Oil & Gas safety rules.

The updated rules, covering well drilling, servicing, completion, plugging, and abandonment, went into effect on Nov. 7, 2025, and represent a significant shift for operators and workers across the state. The Roadshow is designed to break down these changes in a practical, accessible way while reinforcing the broader goal of reducing workplace injuries and fatalities.

Nationwide, 5,070 fatal work injuries were recorded in 2024—a 4% decrease from the previous year. Wyoming OSHA continues to work closely with industry partners to drive that number even lower through education, outreach, and collaboration.

“This year’s Roadshow is really about clarity and application,” said Christian Graham, OSHA Program Manager. “We’re discussing what’s changed, what the risks are, and how to manage them effectively. Our goal is simple: a safer workplace and stronger operations across Wyoming.”

Offered on two separate dates with identical agendas, the Roadshow allows participants to choose the day that works best for their schedule. This no-cost, full-day training includes lunch and is structured as a cohesive workshop with focused sessions that build on one another throughout the day.

Participants will gain applicable insights, including:

  • A clear understanding of Wyoming’s new oil and gas safety rules and how they apply in the field
  • Key lessons from workplace fatality trends and real-world incident case studies
  • Actionable behavior-based safety strategies to reduce risk and prevent incidents
  • Improved confidence in compliance, reporting requirements, and available support resources
  • Greater awareness of environmental and seasonal hazards impacting job sites
  • Practical guidance on site preparedness and production field operations
  • Defining knowledge of gas detection equipment, confined space applications, and maintenance best practices

This training is ideal for employers, supervisors, safety managers, and frontline workers in oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk industries.
