The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services will host the third annual OSHA Roadshow in Cheyenne to provide safety training focused on the state’s new oil and gas regulations.
The updated rules, which cover well drilling, servicing, completion, plugging and abandonment, went into effect Nov. 7, 2025. The upcoming workshops are designed to help operators and employees implement these changes while reducing workplace injuries.
Nationwide data shows 5,070 fatal work injuries were recorded in 2024, a 4% decrease from the previous year. Wyoming OSHA officials said they are continuing to work with industry partners to lower those figures through education and outreach.
The roadshow will be offered on two separate dates with identical agendas, allowing participants to choose a session that fits their schedule. The full-day training is structured as a cohesive workshop where sessions build on one another.
Participants will receive instruction on:
- Application of new state oil and gas safety rules.
- Lessons from workplace fatality trends and incident case studies.
- Behavior-based safety strategies to mitigate risk.
- Compliance and reporting requirements.
- Environmental and seasonal hazards at job sites.
- Gas detection equipment and confined space maintenance.
The training is designed for employers, supervisors, safety managers and frontline workers in the oil and gas, construction and manufacturing sectors.
The sessions will take place May 12 and May 13 at the Department of Workforce Services, located at 5221 Yellowstone Road. Registration for the workshop is free and includes lunch.
