KY'S DRUG PROGRAM TO BE PRESENTED TO SAFETY BOARD

The WV Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety is considering rules and regulations to establish a mandatory drug testing program for the coal mining industry. The program before the Board is patterned after Kentucky's drug testing program which has been in effect for several years.  Representatives of the Kentucky's Dept. of Mines will present their program to the Board and be available to answer questions during the Board's April 15th meeting.

The Board meeting is scheduled at the WV Office of Miners' Health Safety & Training meeting room located at 1615 Washington Street E. in Charleston.  The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. and is open to the public.
