Dear Miner Name:


The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) invites you to participate in a free confidential medical screening that includes:


  • A health questionnaire

  • Blood pressure screening

  • A chest x-ray

  • A breathing test (spirometry)


These screenings are only offered once every 5 years for a period of 6 months. NIOSH recommends that you receive chest x-rays every 5 years for the first 15 years of coal mining and every 3 years after if you continue to work in coal mining. More frequent chest radiographs are not recommended if screening results remain normal.


Screenings are free because NIOSH has approved a Plan filed by your employer, {OPERATOR_NAME} / {MINE_NAME} ({MINE_CODE}), to offer you this service at your employer's expense. This Plan and screening information should be posted by your employer on bulletin boards in highly visible areas or you should be notified directly. A copy of the Plan should also be made available for your review upon request.
