Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Victoria
ILOXAUS brings mobile, onsite ILO chest X-rays to workplaces across Victoria. Rather than sending your crew to a clinic, our unit travels to your site, images workers one at a time between tasks, and every X-ray is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why Victorian employers screen on site
Victoria’s respirable crystalline silica risk sits in two broad places: the tunnelling and civil programme reshaping metropolitan Melbourne, and the stone, quarrying and manufacturing work spread through the regions. Both generate dust, and both run to tight schedules where losing half a shift per worker to a clinic appointment is genuinely expensive.
Sending workers to a clinic costs your business travel time, lost shifts and roster juggling, costs that disappear when we screen on site. Screening on site removes that overhead. Workers are imaged in minutes, night shift crews are caught on the shift they are already rostered for, and the whole crew is finished in a single visit.
Industries we screen in Victoria
- Tunnelling, rail and civil infrastructure across metropolitan Melbourne
- Stonemasonry, benchtop fabrication and engineered stone removal
- Quarrying, sand extraction and hard rock operations
- Construction, demolition and refurbishment of older building stock
- Foundries, fabrication and manufacturing in the industrial corridors
- Power generation, earthworks and rehabilitation in the Latrobe Valley
Where we travel in Victoria
- Melbourne metropolitan area, including the western and northern growth corridors
- Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast
- Ballarat, Bendigo and central Victoria
- Latrobe Valley and Gippsland
- Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley
- Warrnambool and the south-west
- Mildura, Swan Hill and the Mallee
If a site sits off the road network, our Flight Ready unit travels by air with our team, so remote mobilisations and shutdown windows are still covered. Local pages: Melbourne. Industry guides: stone and benchtop work, quarries, tunnelling and construction, mining and foundries and manufacturing.
NIOSH-certified B Reader · ILO classification
Reports a NIOSH-certified B Reader stands behind
The reading matters as much as the image. Every X-ray we take is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist, the qualification recognised internationally for reading dust disease X-rays. You can choose a single ILO read, or a dual read with adjudication where you want an added layer of certainty. Results are reported back to you and to your workers.

Health monitoring duties in Victoria
WorkSafe Victoria administers occupational health and safety in the state, and the duties around silica dust have tightened considerably in recent years, including the national prohibition on engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs. Where health monitoring is required for silica-exposed workers, a chest X-ray reported to the ILO classification is normally part of it, alongside a respiratory questionnaire, lung function testing and review by a registered medical practitioner.
We are not a substitute for advice from WorkSafe Victoria or your occupational physician. What we do is deliver the imaging and the classified report, on site and on your schedule, so that part of the programme is covered properly.
Frequently asked questions
Do you come to our site, or do workers have to visit a clinic?
Our mobile unit comes to you. We set up at your Victorian worksite and image your crew on location, between tasks, so nobody is sent offsite for half a day.
Who reads and classifies the X-rays?
Every X-ray is classified against the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist. You can choose a single ILO read, or a dual read with adjudication for an added layer of certainty.
How long does screening take per worker?
A few minutes each. We screen the whole crew in one visit and work around your roster, including night shifts and shutdown windows.
Which parts of Victoria do you travel to?
Metro, regional and remote sites. Where a truck cannot reach, our Flight Ready unit travels by air with our team for remote, offshore and FIFO work.
What does onsite screening cost?
We give you one written quote for the whole visit, based on your site and crew size, and getting our unit to you is already included. There are no separate travel charges, and screening on site saves your business the travel time and lost shifts of sending workers to a clinic.
How do we get the results?
Once each X-ray has been classified we report back to you and your workers, so the result can go straight into your health monitoring records.
