怀俄明州委员会审议志愿滑雪巡逻员工伤保险议题

【夏延讯】10月1日,怀俄明州议会劳工联合委员会开会审议,是否将志愿滑雪巡逻员纳入工伤保险覆盖范围。据 unofficialnetworks 报道,议题源于多起巡逻员在救援中受伤后保障不足的案例。
志愿滑雪巡逻员在雪场承担救援、雪崩处置等高风险任务,但多数人目前没有工伤保险。支持扩围者认为,巡逻员履行公共安全职能,应享有与雇员相当的保障;反对者担心保费成本转嫁给小型滑雪场。
委员会未在当日表决,决定继续收集滑雪场经营者与保险业的意见,预计在下次会议上提出法案草案。

Wyoming Panel Weighs Workers' Comp for Volunteer Ski Patrollers
[CHEYENNE] The Wyoming Legislature's Joint Labor Committee met October 1 to consider extending workers' compensation coverage to volunteer ski patrollers, unofficialnetworks reported. The issue stems from cases where patrollers injured during rescues lacked adequate coverage.
Volunteer patrollers handle high-risk duties — rescues, avalanche control — at ski areas, but most currently have no workers' comp protection. Supporters argue patrollers perform a public-safety function and deserve employee-equivalent protection; opponents worry premium costs would fall on small ski areas.
The committee took no vote, opting to gather more input from ski-area operators and insurers, with a draft bill expected at a future meeting.
