Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in South Australia
ILOXAUS runs mobile, onsite ILO chest X-rays for worksites across South Australia. We bring the unit to your site, image your crew on location, and every film is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why South Australian employers screen on site
South Australia concentrates a lot of its dust exposure in heavy industry and in the far north. Steelmaking and smelting sit in the Iron Triangle, copper and uranium operations run in the upper north, and quarrying, stone fabrication and a busy construction pipeline keep exposure levels relevant right through metropolitan Adelaide.
A clinic ILO chest X-ray costs around $120 per worker, and for crews based outside Adelaide the travel and lost shifts around that appointment usually cost more than the imaging. Screening on site keeps everyone on the job, catches shift workers on the shift they are already rostered for, and gets the whole crew done in one visit.

NIOSH-certified B Reader · ILO classification
Reporting to the ILO classification
The value of a screening programme is in the read, not just the image. Every chest X-ray we take is classified against the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist, the qualification recognised internationally for reading dust disease films. Single ILO reads and dual reads with adjudication are both available, depending on how much certainty you want on a given result.

Health monitoring duties in South Australia
SafeWork SA is the state work health and safety regulator, and South Australia applies the model WHS framework, including the national prohibition on engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs and the tightened duties around processing crystalline silica substances. Where health monitoring is triggered, it usually combines a respiratory questionnaire, lung function testing, medical review and a chest X-ray reported to the ILO classification.
We do not provide the medical assessment or advise on your legal obligations. Confirm those with SafeWork SA or your occupational physician, and we will handle the imaging and the classified report at your site.
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 South Australian 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 South Australia 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.
