Agree with this as we find it is best to repeat low positive annual non- exposure QFT right away before the employee gets too far down the road.

 

 

 

This is extraordinary.

What an amazing product JoAnn!

Very helpful and informative, thank you.

 

I would only alter, on quick review, that the retest can be done at any time, per our data, and would not need to wait for 10 weeks. The only reason to delay would be known exposure or recent TST.

 

Terrific,

Wendy

This will probably confuse everyone…but we make it work

 

 

 

Anybody have an IGRA or quantiferon gold TB testing policy for preplacement and annual screening that they can share?

 

I tried the ACOEM marketplace but could not find one there.

 

Thanks,
