The CWXSP was developed as a
surveillance program to protect the health and safety of the
Nation's underground coal miners. The data collected will be used
to detect and prevent coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). The

Examinations of Underground Coal Miners." The Act specifies that
all underground coal miners be afforded the opportunity for a chest
x-ray examination.
