Screening
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for occupational lung disease at a national level, however, at a local level workers with known occupational hazards may benefit from routine screening at their places of work. Routine screening may include:[1][2]
- Questionnaire (including exposure assessment)
- X ray of the chest
- Spirometry
- Referral to chest clinic/specialized service for investigation and management, including:
- Detailed history of non‐occupational factors
- Pulmonary function testing
- Blood tests
- Including CBC
- Sputum analysis
- CT
- Bronchoscopy
