Employees Health can coordinate mobile X-ray services where clinically required as part of workplace health surveillance programs.
Availability depends on site location, workforce size, clinical requirements and radiology logistics. Mobile chest X-ray coordination may assist organisations seeking to reduce workforce disruption when chest imaging is required for occupational health monitoring.
Mobile chest X-ray coordination may support health surveillance programs involving silica exposure, asbestos exposure, welding fumes, coal dust or other respiratory hazards where chest imaging is required or recommended under relevant workplace health monitoring protocols.
Services can be coordinated across a range of industries, including construction, infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, utilities, transport and other workplaces with potential respiratory exposure risks.
Benefits of Our Mobile X-Ray Services
On-Site Imaging: No more scheduling hassles or lost productivity due to off-site appointments. Our mobile X-ray units come directly to your workplace, making it easy for employees to get the imaging they need without leaving the premises.
ILO Radiologist Reporting: Our team includes certified ILO (International Labour Organisation) radiologists who specialise in reading and interpreting chest X-rays for pneumoconiosis. This ensures accurate and reliable diagnosis, essential for managing and preventing occupational lung diseases.
Safe Work Australia Compliance: Our services help you comply with Safe Work Australia’s regulations on exposure to dust and other hazardous substances. Regular X-ray screenings are a key component of your compliance strategy, ensuring you meet all mandatory health and safety requirements.
For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact Employees Health. Let us help you protect your most valuable asset – your employees.
A mobile X-ray is chest imaging carried out at or near the workplace, using a mobile unit operated by qualified radiographers, rather than at a radiology clinic. For workplace health surveillance, it lets workers have the chest X-rays required for silica or other dust exposures without travelling off site.
A full-size PA chest X-ray is a minimum requirement of health monitoring for crystalline silica under Schedule 14 of the model WHS Regulations. Chest imaging may also be recommended by the supervising doctor for asbestos, coal dust and some other respiratory exposures.
Cost depends on the number of workers, the site’s location, travel and set-up requirements, and the type of radiologist reporting needed. Employees Health can provide a quote after discussing your workforce and sites.
For silica health monitoring, chest X-rays should be read by a radiologist who meets RANZCR reporting requirements or is a qualified ILO B reader, using the ILO classification for dust-related lung disease. Employees Health coordinates appropriately qualified reporting.
Availability depends on location, workforce size and radiology logistics. Employees Health can coordinate mobile X-ray where it is practical and arrange clinic-based imaging close to the site where it is not.
Mobile X-ray services are commonly utilised by mining operations, construction companies, manufacturing facilities, transport organisations, government agencies, and employers operating in regional or remote locations.
Mobile X-ray systems use diagnostic imaging technology designed to produce medical-grade images. Image quality and suitability should always be assessed by appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.
For many organisations, onsite imaging may reduce the need for employee travel and minimise disruption to workplace operations. The suitability of mobile imaging should be assessed based on the specific needs of the organisation.
Employers can contact Employees Health to discuss workforce size, site location, operational requirements, and scheduling preferences. Our team can then provide information regarding service availability and implementation options.
