Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Brisbane and South East Queensland
ILOXAUS brings mobile ILO chest X-rays to worksites across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Your crew is imaged on location and every X-ray is classified to the ILO standard by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why South East Queensland worksites screen on site
South East Queensland’s construction pipeline, quarries and stone fabrication workshops employ a large dust-exposed workforce. Screening at the site or workshop avoids clinic travel across a spread-out region and gets the whole crew done in one visit.
In Queensland, quarry workers must have respiratory health surveillance before they start and at least every five years, including a chest X-ray dual-read to the ILO standard.

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.

Health monitoring duties in Queensland
Most Brisbane workplaces fall under Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, and Queensland’s rules on processing crystalline silica substances apply. Health monitoring is required where a worker’s exposure is a significant risk to their health.
Quarries are regulated by Resources Safety and Health Queensland, which requires respiratory health surveillance that includes a dual-read ILO chest X-ray. We supply ILO-classified chest X-rays on site. Confirm your obligations with your regulator or 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 Brisbane worksite and image your crew on location, between tasks, so nobody is sent off site 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 South East Queensland do you cover?
Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redlands, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba, with regional Queensland on request.
Do you offer dual reads?
Yes. Every X-ray can be classified by a single NIOSH-certified B Reader, or dual-read with adjudication where your health monitoring program calls for it.
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.
