I wouldn’t include them in my accident/injury reports.  I would just report the details and outcomes to Infection Control Committee.

Hello,

 

Do you include all TB exposures as part of the total injuries reported for the month? I know only work related TB conversions are OSHA recordable but are  all exposed employees counted as part of the total injuries for the month?

 

Let’s say you have a TB exposure that affected 200 employees with zero conversions, do you report 200 additional injuries to your overall injury count for that month?

 

 

Regards,

Mari C
