Wyoming OSHA Training

Wyoming workers in most industries can benefit from OSHA training courses that teach workplace health and safety standards. Even if your current employer does not require OSHA Outreach training, earning your official OSHA card is a low-cost way to improve your resume for future job opportunities.

Wyoming Labor Laws

The Wyoming Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Wyoming OSHA) covers most public and private sector employees, exempting federal employees, the United States Postal Service, military personnel, private-sector maritime employees and certain agricultural related operations (field sanitation and temporary labor camps).

One of the top initiatives for Wyoming OSHA is providing businesses with free consultation services to help employers recognize and control potential safety and health hazards. Part of this service includes the Safety and Health Achievement and Recognition Program, or SHARP. SHARP recognizes employers who operate exemplary safety and health programs, exempting them from OSHA's general scheduled inspections. For more information on this service, see SHARP's webpage.

Wyoming OSHA helps businesses identify real and potential hazards and prevent or control them to minimize risk. The major elements of an effective health and safety plan in Wyoming are:

Management Commitment and Employee Involvement
Worksite Analysis
Hazard Prevention and Control
Safety and Health Training

Specific program information on these elements is available on the OSHA website.

Wyoming Top OSHA Violations

Wyoming's leading cause of workplace fatalities has recently been related to transportation and material moving. Though there can be many causes for this type of tragedy, backover, which occurs when a reversing vehicle hits a worker behind it, is common yet easily preventable. Nationwide, more than 70 workers were killed in this manner in 2011.

The most cited standard, which also receives the highest penalties, is for fall prevention in construction. Falls commonly cause serious work-related injuries and deaths, and OSHA has many guidelines to help prevent them.

OSHA Guidelines

OSHA's purpose is to provide safe conditions for workers. OSHA sets very broad and general regulations that most businesses must followed, as well as more detailed standards for specific industries, from construction to cosmetology and beyond.

Receiving OSHA training has benefits beyond meeting requirements and keeping employees safe. It leads to healthier employees with more ease of mind, which increases productivity. Boosting morale, it reduces turnover and the time and resources spent on recruiting and training replacements. It reduces productive workers' time away from the job due to injury and illness. This is all in addition to helping protect you from OSHA's retribution, as it can levy heavy fines for not following the standards presented in our OSHA courses.
