[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] Re: IGRA testing policy - preplacement

[Thanassi, Wendy]

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

Subject: [MCOH-EH] IGRA testing policy - preplacement

 

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,
