Under the National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act 1946, which commenced in July 1948, and its related secondary legislation pneumoconiosis was listed as a prescribed industrial disease but, unlike other prescribed diseases and accidents, claims for industrial injury benefit by mineworkers with pneumoconiosis or byssinosis were referred to a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board. The board could authorise an X-ray examination of the claimant's lungs and obtain a report by a radiologist.
