Can a person be appointed to the office of Mine Inspector or Instructor without a Foreman card?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with governor approval
• D. Only if they have a degree

Answer: (B)

Holding a Foreman card is a prerequisite for appointing someone to the offices of Mine Inspector or Instructor. This credential shows the person has completed the required training and has demonstrated the competency to supervise, inspect, and teach safety practices in mining operations. Because that credential is required, you cannot be appointed to those roles without it, making the answer No. The other conditions—governor approval or a college degree—are not the triggers for eligibility in this case, since the regulation centers on possession of the Foreman card rather than political approval or educational degree.
