Occupational Lung Disease
Comprehensive Lung Screening and Registry Services for Coal, Mineral Mine, and Quarry Workers
Exposure to mine and quarry dust can lead to serious, often silent, lung diseases.
These diseases often progress without symptoms until it’s too late.
Respirable dust — from coal, silica, and other particles — can embed deep in the lungs, slowly causing inflammation and permanent damage over time.
Without routine screening, these conditions often go unnoticed until symptoms become severe or irreversible.
Lungscreen offers a purpose built lung screening program for workers exposed to mine and quarry dust.
Dual-Read ILO-Standard Reporting
Every chest X-ray undergoes rigorous dual reading by NIOSH-certified B-Readers, adhering strictly to international ILO guidelines to ensure accuracy and consistency.

All clinical data and imaging are securely archived in our central registry, enabling seamless historical comparisons and robust longitudinal analysis.
Digital Portal with Secure Access
Workers, referrers, and employers gain quick, secure online access to images, health records, and clinical reports, simplifying administrative workflows and improving clinical care.
Dedicated Clinical Support
Our specialist occupational health clinicians provide personalised guidance, helping interpret screening results, coordinate follow-up care, and support worker health decisions.

Registration
The worker is registered with Lungscreen and issued a unique Lungscreen ID.
X-ray Appointment
A chest X-ray is taken at a participating radiology clinic. The Lungscreen ID must be included in the image data.
