Specifications for Medical Examinations of Underground Coal Miners (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Regulation) (CDC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Specifications for Medical Examinations of Underground Coal Miners (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Regulation) (CDC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule modifies the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations for medical examinations of underground coal miners. Existing regulations established specifications for providing, interpreting, classifying, and submitting film-based roentgenograms (now commonly called chest radiographs or X-rays) of underground coal miners. The revised standards modify the requirements to permit the use of film-based radiography systems and add a parallel set of standards permitting the use of digital radiography systems. An additional amendment requires coal mine operators to provide the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) with employee rosters to assist the Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program in improving participation by miners.
