States that for any employee who has been occupationally exposed to anyone with a known case of active tuberculosis, and subsequently develops a tuberculosis infection, as evidenced by a positive skin test or diagnosis by a licensed health care professional, the employer must record the case as a respiratory condition.
Your second question pertains to tuberculosis skin testing and which employees are required to be tested. OSHAs position is that employers, in covered workplaces, shall offer Mantoux TB skin tests (at no cost to employees) to all current potentially exposed employees and to all new employees prior to exposure.
Monitor health symptoms if possible exposure to TB has occurred. Workers should monitor their health for symptoms of TB infection for 10 weeks following known exposure and call their state or local health department immediately if they develop any illness signs or symptoms.
According to U.S. law and international standards, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects employees with tuberculosis. Human Resource managers must supply reasonable modifications, and employers are restricted from firing workers because they tested positive for tuberculosis infection.
Guidelines. CDC and the National Tuberculosis Coalition of America preferentially recommend short-course, rifamycin-based, 3- or 4-month latent TB infection treatment regimens over 6- or 9-month monotherapy. Short-course regimens are effective, safe, and have higher completion rates than longer regimens.
