Coal miners can receive a free chest x-ray when participating in a NIOSH program. The first program is for new coal miners and requires that when you begin working in underground coal mining, you must be offered a chest X-ray, either as part of a pre-placement physical examination or within six months after being hired. Three years later you must be offered a second chest X-ray. If this second examination reveals evidence of pneumoconiosis, you must be offered a third chest X-ray two years after the second. The second program is for all miners working in an underground coal mine. You must be offered a chest X-ray approximately every five years during a six-month time period arranged by the coal mine and approved by NIOSH.

Please read the Coal Workers&apos Health Surveillance Program web site for more information.

Mobile Units provide service for several states and the search will only show the home state. Please contact the facility for the coverage area.
