Purchasing

A TB test is not required of everyone. The qualification letter you received from the Purchasing Department will indicate if a TB test is neccessary.

The TB test can be done by your family physician.  A self-read test is NOT acceptable;
licensed medical personnel must sign that the test was negative. 
If the test should be positive, a chest x-ray will be required.

 

NOTE:  A Mantoux, PPD or TST Test must be administered. 
Other types of skin tests are not acceptable.

 

TB tests must be current within 5 years.

 

In lieu of submitting TB test results, a letter is acceptable certifying that your company requires it as a condition of employment, that each employee is tested for TB every 5 years using either a Mantoux, PPD or TST test.

That the test was administered by a licensed physician and that the results were negative.
