Wyoming asbestos regulations.
Wyoming runs no state asbestos licensing program of its own — here's what actually applies to a contractor working there, and where notifications go.
State licensing & accreditation
Wyoming does not run its own asbestos contractor/worker licensing program. Personnel work under federal AHERA accreditation (40 CFR 763, Subpart E).
Official Wyoming asbestos page.
Notification
Notifications go to the Wyoming Dept. of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division (DEQ AQD), Asbestos Program under WAQSR ch. 3, § 8 (020-3 Wyo. Code R. § 3-8).
- Advance notice: 10 working days.
- Notification details / form.
How the federal rules layer in
No matter the state, federal OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 (asbestos in construction), EPA NESHAP (40 CFR 61, Subpart M), and AHERA worker accreditation still apply. A state program layers its own licensing and notification on top of — not instead of — these. Where Wyoming has no state license, the federal accreditation and NESHAP notification requirements are the floor.
Wyoming-specific notes
- Wyoming has NO state registration or licensure program for asbestos companies or individuals; workers/supervisors must carry a current AHERA-type training certificate on site.
- Notification required 10 working days before demolition of public/commercial buildings whether or not asbestos is present.
- EPA delegated the asbestos NESHAP to Wyoming in March 1994.
- No mandatory form; DEQ provides optional templates.

Wyoming asbestos: common questions
Do I need a state license to do asbestos abatement in Wyoming?
Wyoming does not run its own asbestos licensing program. Workers and supervisors carry federal AHERA accreditation (40 CFR 763, Subpart E), and federal OSHA and EPA NESHAP requirements still apply.
Who do I notify before asbestos work in Wyoming, and how far in advance?
Notifications go to the Wyoming Dept. of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division (DEQ AQD), Asbestos Program (WAQSR ch. 3, § 8 (020-3 Wyo. Code R. § 3-8)). Required advance notice: 10 working days.
Do the federal OSHA and EPA asbestos rules still apply in Wyoming?
Yes. Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101, EPA NESHAP (40 CFR 61, Subpart M), and AHERA worker accreditation apply nationwide — Wyoming's rules layer on top of them, not instead of them.
