Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training rule relating to certification, recertification, and training of EMT-Miners and certification of EMT-M instructors

This bill authorizes West Virginia's Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training to establish and enforce rules (56 CSR 22) for certifying and training EMT-Miners (emergency medical technicians specializing in mining emergencies) and EMT-M instructors. It directly affects miners requiring emergency medical certification and the instructors who train them, by standardizing their certification, recertification, and training requirements. The bill does not create new policy but formally authorizes an existing regulatory rule to ensure consistent medical readiness in mining operations.
