G.M. STEWART CORPORATION

Cowboy Voluntary Protection Program

CVPP

Wyoming's Cowboy Voluntary Protection Programs (CVPP) is designed to recognize and promote those businesses that have implemented outstanding occupational health and safety protection in the workplace.  They bear out the belief that cooperation between management, employees, and Wyoming Workers' Safety is possible and that such cooperation can lead to safer working environments.  This takes a commitment and willingness on the part of the employer to make such a program work.

Wyoming started fiscal-year 2004 with two participants in the Cowboy Voluntary Protection Program (CVPP): ChevronTexaco’s Painter Reservoir gas plant and its Carter Creek gas plant, both in Evanston, Wyo. In June 2004, two new Cowboy Star sites were approved: the Georgia Pacific Gypsum Plant (first manufacturing site) in Lovell, Wyo., and G.M. STEWART CORPORATION (first construction company) in Evanston, Wyo. In July, Wyoming’s fifth CVPP site was added: Xanterra Parks and Resorts in Yellowstone National Park, approved as a Merit site. Xanterra is the first and only national park resort operator to be approved in VPP.
