Two billion people worldwide have TB. And it's spreading rapidly in America. Alarmed OSHA officials issued tough new TB Safety Directives in 1996. These enforce 1994 Center for Disease Control Tuberculosis Prevention Guidelines - and allow the wearing of new NIOSH-approved respirators/masks, as well as HEPA masks.
ALWAYS READY'S course, "Guarding Against Tuberculosis in Healthcare Facilities" was crafted to help Healthcare facilities whose workers are at risk for exposure to TB - and who therefore must conduct employee training as mandated in the CDC Guidelines.

. Modes by which Tuberculosis is transmitted
. The CDC Guidelines
. The Exposure Control Plan
. Recognition of exposure situations

. And More.
