NIOSH anticipates that the need for physicians able to perform ILO classifications of chest radiographs will continue to increase and encourages radiologists, chest physicians, occupational medicine physicians and other interested physicians to consider becoming B Readers. Recently implemented Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations have increased the need for services provided by B Readers. B Readers play an important role in providing medical surveillance for workers with occupational exposures to respirable mineral dusts such as coal mine dust, asbestos, and crystalline silica.B Readers get certified by an examination documenting their ability to use the ILO classification system to evaluate (classify) chest radiographs.B Readers are provided the opportunity to learn the International Labour Office (ILO) International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses classification system, the most widely used standardized procedure to document radiographic findings found in pneumoconiosis.B Readers’ standardized assessments of chest radiographs are used in public health agencies to track the population burden of pneumoconiosis and in various administrative, legal, and compensation settings.This provides an opportunity for early interventions to minimize the chance of disease progression. B Readers participate in medical surveillance programs that utilize chest radiographs for the early detection of pneumoconiosis in dust exposed workers.
