Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in NSW
ILOXAUS delivers mobile, onsite ILO chest X-rays to worksites across NSW. The unit comes to you, your crew is imaged on location, and every film is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why NSW worksites screen on site
New South Wales carries one of the broadest dust exposure profiles in the country. Coal work runs through the Hunter and the Illawarra, metalliferous mining through the Central West and the far west, tunnelling and motorway construction under Sydney, and stone fabrication sits in workshops in almost every industrial estate.
Sending workers to a clinic for an ILO chest X-ray costs about $120 a head before you add travel, lost shifts and the roster changes needed to cover them. Bringing the unit to site turns that into a few minutes per worker, with the whole crew screened in one visit and no callbacks on days off.

NIOSH-certified B Reader · ILO classification
ILO classification by a NIOSH-certified B Reader
An image on its own is not a health monitoring record. Every chest X-ray we take is read and classified against the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist, so the result is consistent and defensible for your records, for regulators and for your workers. Single ILO reads and dual reads with adjudication are both available.

Screen on site
Chest X-rays are taken on location, worker by worker, between tasks rather than off site.
04
ILO-classified results
A NIOSH-certified B Reader classifies each film and results are reported to you and your workers.
Health monitoring duties in New South Wales
SafeWork NSW regulates work health and safety for most industries in the state, while the NSW Resources Regulator oversees mining and petroleum sites. Coal mine workers in NSW also sit under a separate statutory health surveillance scheme administered through the coal industry, which sets its own requirements for periodic chest imaging and reporting.
Whichever framework applies to your operation, the imaging component generally calls for a chest X-ray classified to the ILO standard. We supply that imaging and the classified report on site. Confirm your specific obligations with SafeWork NSW, the Resources Regulator or your occupational physician.
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 NSW 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 film 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 New South Wales 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?
A clinic ILO chest X-ray is around $120 a head before you add travel, lost shifts and roster changes. We quote in writing for your job, priced on your location and crew size.
How do we get the results?
Once each film has been classified we report back to you and your workers, so the result can go straight into your health monitoring records.
