The International Labour Office's Guidelines for the use of the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses, revised edition 2011 (Occupational Safety and Health Series No. 22), Geneva. It explains how to classify postero-anterior chest radiographs for small and large opacities and pleural abnormalities, including pleural plaques and diffuse pleural thickening. One symbol records mesothelioma, and a new chapter 6 extends the system to digital images. Asbestos is named only in a footnote listing validation studies that include mortality of asbestos workers.
