Therefore, Wyoming has designed its own OSHA-approved Official State Plan, including all local government, state, and private-sector employees. 

 

In addition, it assumes all Federal OSHA Standards exactly, excluding Subpart A of 29 C.F.R. Part 1910 and Subparts A and B of 29 C.F.R. Part 1926, which are rephrased to exhibit the Wyoming Occupational Health and Safety Act. Wyoming OSHA exercises New Standards within six months of approval by the Secretary of Labor.

 

Accommodated under the Wyoming Occupational Health and Safety Act, Wyoming OSHA can't include those more severe than interrelated Federal Standards but can comprise Standards that do not correspond to Federal OSHA Standards.

 

Moreover, Wyoming OSHA includes Federal recordkeeping and reporting regulations and enforces some unique Standards separate from Federal OSHA, covering oil and gas well drilling, servicing and special servicing, and anchor standards.

 

Furthermore, the State Plan of Wyoming is executed in private-sector industrial facilities with the exclusion of:

 

• Employment at Yellowstone National Park;
• Maritime employment, including shipyard employment, marine terminals, and longshoring;
• Contract workers and contractor-operated facilities engaged in United States Postal Service (USPS) mail operations;
• Employment on the Warren Air Force Base;
• Employment in the U.S. Department of Energy's Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserve in Casper;
• Employment at private-sector hazardous-waste disposal facilities designated as Superfund sites;
• The enforcement of the field sanitation standard (29 CFR 1928.110) and the enforcement of the temporary labor camps standard (29 CFR 1910.142) concerning any agricultural establishment where workers are engaged in "agricultural employment" within the meaning of the Migrant, and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. 1802(3) – regardless of the number of workers – including workers engaged in hand packing of produce into containers, whether done on the ground, on a moving machine, or in a temporary packing shed, except that Wyoming OSHA retains enforcement responsibility over agricultural temporary labor camps for workers engaged in egg, poultry, or red meat production, or the post-harvest processing of agricultural or horticultural commodities; and
• All working conditions of aircraft cabin crew members onboard aircraft in operation.

 

Since most employers in Wyoming require their workers to have enough general safety knowledge to perform job operations well and OSHA Outreach Training covers particular safety standards that are pertinent to most job functions, OSHA recommends entry-level workers to get enrolled in OSHA 10 Hour courses and workers with supervisory roles to get enrolled in OSHA 30 Hour courses.
