CHEYENNE – The Wyoming Department of Workforce Services (DWS) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is implementing rules that require flame-resistant clothing be worn by all workers within 75 feet radius of a well bore and a rule that mandates emergency shut-down devices on all diesel engines used on a drilling rig.

The rules were proposed by the Wyoming Occupational Safety and Health Commission. The rules are posted on the Secretary of State’s online database: http://soswy.state.wy.us/Rules/default.aspx.

The rules incorporate recommendations from a broad range of stakeholders and considered public comments received during a public hearing in October and input received over a 90-day public comment period.
