What are the current guidelines for the management and follow-up of patients diagnosed with silicosis?

The provided UK guideline excerpts do not contain specific guidelines for the management and follow-up of patients diagnosed with silicosis ¹,²,³,⁴,⁵. The context primarily details guidelines for conditions such as sarcoidosis ¹, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ², chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ³,⁵, and bronchiectasis ⁴.
