The event, which occurred May 12-13, helped employers, supervisors, safety managers, and frontline workers understand and apply Wyoming’s new oil and gas safety rules. These new rules went into effect in November 2025. They represented a major shift for workers and operators statewide.
This year, the Roadshow had 59 attendees and focused on clarity and real-world application, supporting the broader mission of reducing workplace injuries and fatalities.
The full-day workshop included featured sessions on:
- Understanding new safety rules and field application
- Lessons from real-world incidents and fatality trends
- Actionable strategies for risk reduction
- Compliance and reporting requirements
- Environmental and seasonal hazards
- Site preparedness and operations
- Gas detection, confined spaces, and maintenance best practices
Christian Graham, Wyoming OSHA Program Manager, emphasized the event’s practical approach, which helped attendees grasp what had changed, identify risks, and manage them for safer workplaces.
