Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Wollongong and the Illawarra
ILOXAUS brings mobile ILO chest X-rays to Wollongong, Port Kembla and the wider Illawarra. Crews are imaged on site and every X-ray is classified to the ILO standard by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why Illawarra worksites screen on site
The Illawarra combines coal mining, steelmaking and heavy industry at Port Kembla, quarrying and a busy construction sector. Screening on site keeps crews working and gets the whole team imaged in one visit.
Coal mine workers across NSW are assessed under Coal Services Order 45, which builds an independent second review of chest imaging into the scheme.

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 the Illawarra
Coal mine workers in the Illawarra are covered by Coal Services’ health surveillance scheme under Order 45. Other mines and quarries fall under the NSW Resources Regulator, and most other workplaces, including steel and manufacturing, under SafeWork NSW.
Each framework sets its own requirements for chest imaging. We supply ILO-classified chest X-rays on site, as a single read or a dual read with adjudication. Check with Coal Services, the Resources Regulator or your occupational physician how our imaging fits your obligations.
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 Illawarra 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.
Can your X-rays be used for Order 45 assessments?
Order 45 sets specific requirements for how chest imaging is reported and reviewed. Talk to us and to Coal Services before booking, so the imaging is arranged to suit the scheme.
Which parts of the Illawarra do you cover?
Wollongong, Port Kembla, Dapto, Shellharbour, Kiama and the northern Illawarra, plus the Southern Highlands and the Shoalhaven.
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.
