Temporary Suspension of Certificates – WV Legislative Rule Making Committee

Details

Type: Procedural Rule
Agency: Miners' Health, Safety And Training
CSR Number: 37-02
Effective Date: September 11, 1983

Summary

This rule is more strict than the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) regulations. MSHA does not have a certification process to certify miners in each particular coal mine specialty. Therefore, MSHA does not have the need to temporarily decertify those certifications when a miner commits a serious safety violation.

This rule was created in response to the West Virginia Supreme Court’s decision in Perry v. Miller, 171 W. Va. 509, 300 S.E.2d 622 (1983).
