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:
One mining operation is singled out for each year for special recognition, and receives the Barton B. Lay, Jr. Milestones of Safety Award.
The 2007 Mountaineer Guardian Awards were presented at the 35th Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium (sponsored by the West Virginia Coal Association Inc.) on January 10, 2008 during a luncheon ceremony.
