Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Queensland
ILOXAUS provides mobile, onsite ILO chest X-rays for Queensland worksites. We mobilise to your location, image your crew on the shift they are already working, and every X-ray is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why Queensland sites screen on site
Queensland is a long state with dust-exposed crews at both ends of it. Coal operations run through the Bowen Basin, bauxite and base metals sit in the north and north-west, gas and civil work spreads across the Surat Basin and the Darling Downs, and stone fabrication and construction cluster around Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Distance is exactly why offsite screening hurts here. For a regional or FIFO crew, sending workers to a clinic means covering their travel, accommodation and lost shifts, costs that disappear when we screen on site. Screening at the site removes the travel entirely, including for night shift and shutdown crews.
Industries we screen in Queensland
- Open cut and underground coal operations, including preparation plants and coal handling
- Bauxite, base metals and hard rock mining in the north and north-west
- Quarrying, crushing and aggregate production
- Coal seam gas, pipeline and civil works across the Surat Basin and Darling Downs
- Stonemasonry, benchtop fabrication and engineered stone removal
- Foundries, smelting, refining and heavy manufacturing
- Construction, demolition and tunnelling in the south-east
Where we travel in Queensland
- Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and the Gold Coast
- Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay
- Toowoomba, the Darling Downs and the Surat Basin
- Gladstone, Rockhampton and Central Queensland

For remote, offshore and FIFO sites that a truck cannot reach, our Flight Ready unit travels by air with our team and delivers the same screening and reporting as a road job. Local pages: Brisbane and South East Queensland and Mackay and the Bowen Basin. Industry guides: stone and benchtop work, quarries, tunnelling and construction, mining and foundries and manufacturing.
NIOSH-certified B Reader · ILO classification
Classified by a NIOSH-certified B Reader
A dust disease X-ray is only as good as the person reading it. Every chest X-ray we take is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist, which is the qualification recognised internationally for this work. Choose a single ILO read, or a dual read with adjudication where you want extra certainty on a result.

Health monitoring duties in Queensland
Resources Safety and Health Queensland regulates mining, quarrying, explosives and petroleum and gas work in the state, and administers the Coal Mine Workers Health Scheme, which sets respiratory health assessment requirements for coal mine workers, including chest imaging reported against the ILO classification. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland covers most other industries, including construction and stone processing.
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 Queensland 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 Queensland 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.
