  • Dose Reconstruction Program Video Now Available

    NIOSH has developed a 15 minute video to to provide a basic understanding of this complex, scientific program to those who have a claim undergoing dose reconstruction. It provides answers to the most frequently asked questions that NIOSH receives from its claimants, as well as general information about the NIOSH claims process. After watching the video, NIOSH hopes the audience has a better understanding of dose reconstruction and the dose reconstruction process, and recognizes that the NIOSH dose reconstruction program is grounded in sound, scientific methods that give the benefit of the doubt to the worker whenever possible.

    You can view the Dose Reconstruction Program Video on our Dose Reconstruction page. Information on how to order hard copies of the video is also available.
