Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Adelaide
ILOXAUS brings mobile ILO chest X-rays to worksites across Adelaide and its surrounds. Your crew is imaged on location and every X-ray is classified to the ILO standard by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why Adelaide worksites screen on site
Adelaide’s quarries, construction and infrastructure projects, and stone and manufacturing workshops all involve silica dust. Screening on site keeps crews working and gets the whole team imaged in one visit.
In South Australia, businesses planning permitted work on installed engineered stone must notify SafeWork SA before processing starts. Failing to notify is an offence.

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 South Australia
SafeWork SA regulates most workplaces in the state, including mines and quarries under the WHS Regulations. Where a worker’s exposure to crystalline silica is a significant risk to their health, the business must provide health monitoring under a registered medical practitioner.
Permitted work on installed engineered stone must be notified to SafeWork SA before it starts. We supply ILO-classified chest X-rays on site. Confirm your obligations with SafeWork SA 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide do you cover?
All of metropolitan Adelaide, plus the Adelaide Hills, Gawler and the Barossa, Murray Bridge and the Fleurieu Peninsula. We also travel throughout regional South Australia.
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.
