Classification System. NIOSH uses these
B Readers in its Coal Workers Health
Surveillance Program. B Readers are
also employed in a variety of other
clinical, research and compensation
settings. NIOSH is using the issuance of
the new International Labour Office
(ILO) Classification of Radiographs as an
opportunity to expand its Web site on
the B Reader Program and use of the ILO
system. NIOSH-certified B Readers use
the internationally-recognized ILO
system to classify chest radiographs for
the presence and severity of pulmonary
parenchymal and pleural changes
potentially caused by exposure to dusts
such as asbestos, silica, and coal mine
dust. The revised program Web site
provides more information about
radiographic reading and the ILO
system including recommendations or
‘‘best practices’’ for use of the ILO
system in different settings.
We are specifically seeking public
comment for the draft Document:
‘‘Recommendations for Applying the
International Labour Office (ILO)
International Classification of
Radiographs of Pneumoconioses in
Medical Diagnosis, Research and
Population Surveillance, Worker Health
Monitoring, Government Program
Eligibility, and Compensation Settings.’’
This document can be found at
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/
chestradiography/
recommendations.html.
At this same time, NIOSH is also
seeking comment on its proposed
‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’
which can be found at this same Web
site. In a recent decision in the In Re
Silica Products Litigation, 2005 WL
1593936 (S.D. Tex June 30, 2005),
Federal District Court Judge Janis Jack
raised questions regarding the ethical
conduct of certain physicians, some of
whom were B Readers, in reading x-rays
in litigation. NIOSH is proposing
‘‘Ethical Considerations for B Readers’’
which includes a code of ethics
modeled after those of the American
College of Radiology and the American
Medical Association. We welcome
comments on this proposed code of
ethics.
Please review and submit your
comments on either or both of these
documents to CWHSP@cdc.gov. If you
would prefer to have a hard copy rather
than electronic, please contact NIOSH at
this same e-mail address, and we will be
happy to fax or mail copies of the
documents to you.
The documents will remain available
for comment until January 17, 2006.
After that date, NIOSH will consider all
the comments submitted and make
appropriate revisions to the document
