Onsite ILO Chest X-Rays in Tasmania
ILOXAUS brings mobile, onsite ILO chest X-rays to worksites across Tasmania. Instead of moving your crew off site, or off the island, our unit travels to you and every X-ray is classified to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses by a NIOSH-certified B Reader radiologist.
Why Tasmanian employers screen on site
Tasmania has a small workforce spread over difficult geography. Mining sits largely on the west coast, heavy industry clusters around Bell Bay, Burnie and Hobart, and quarrying, stone fabrication and construction crews are scattered through the north and south. Getting a crew to a metropolitan clinic can mean a full day of travel for a ten minute appointment.
That lost day is what onsite screening saves you. Sending workers to a clinic costs your business travel time, vehicle use and lost shifts, and those costs multiply on an island with long drives between towns. Screening on site removes the travel and gets the whole crew done in one visit.
Industries we screen in Tasmania
- Underground and open cut mining on the west coast
- Mineral processing, concentrators and tailings operations
- Smelting, refining and ferroalloy production
- Quarrying, crushing and aggregate supply
- Stonemasonry, benchtop fabrication and engineered stone removal
- Construction, demolition and refurbishment of older building stock
- Heavy fabrication, shipbuilding and marine engineering
Where we travel in Tasmania
- Hobart and the greater southern region
- Launceston and the Tamar Valley
- Bell Bay and George Town
- Burnie, Devonport and the north-west coast
- Queenstown, Rosebery, Zeehan and the west coast
- Savage River and the far north-west

For sites off the road network, or where scheduling around a shutdown makes road access impractical, our Flight Ready unit travels by air with our team. Industry guides: stone and benchtop work, quarries, tunnelling and construction, mining and foundries and manufacturing.
NIOSH-certified B Reader · ILO classification
Read and classified by a NIOSH-certified B Reader
The reading is where a screening programme earns its value. 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 X-rays. You can select a single ILO read, or a dual read with adjudication for an added layer of certainty.
How a Tasmanian site visit runs
01
Book a visit
Tell us the site, the crew size and the window you need covered, and we scope access.
02
We come to you
The unit mobilises to your Tasmanian site by road, or flies in where that is the practical option.
03
Screen on site
Chest X-rays are taken on location, worker by worker, with minimal downtime.
04
ILO-classified results
A NIOSH-certified B Reader classifies each X-ray and results are reported to you and your workers.
Health monitoring duties in Tasmania
WorkSafe Tasmania is the state work health and safety regulator and Tasmania applies the model WHS framework, including the national prohibition on engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs. Where a worker carries out ongoing work with a hazardous substance such as respirable crystalline silica or asbestos, health monitoring is generally required, and chest imaging reported to the ILO classification is a standard part of it.
Confirm exactly what applies to your operation with WorkSafe Tasmania or your occupational physician. We provide the imaging and the classified report so that component is properly covered without moving your crew.
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 Tasmanian 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 Tasmania 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.
