In 1997, the Mountaineer Guardian Safety program was extensively revised. The most important change was to include the West Virginia Office of Miners Health Safety and Training inspection personnel in the selection process. Each inspector may nominate mines/facilities for consideration. Representatives of the sponsoring agencies review those regional nominations and selections for the awards are made from that list.
Selection Criteria:
Beginning with the 2008 program, two mining operations are singled out for each year for special recognition, and receive the Milestones of Safety Awards.
The 2009 Mountaineer Guardian Awards were presented at the 37th Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium (sponsored by the West Virginia Coal Association Inc.) in February, 2010.
