Safety Manager's "Tuberculosis in the Institutional Environments"
Regulatory Compliance Kit includes the changes in respiratory
protection requirements. The Kit is designed to assist
facilities and operations whose employees have a risk
of exposure to Tuberculosis. The Kit also helps employees
understand the nature of the disease, as well as what
they can do to protect themselves from infection.
Early in 1996 OSHA issued Tuberculosis Directives that enforce the 1994 Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Tuberculosis Prevention Guidelines, and allow for the wearing of new classes of NIOSH approved respirators/masks as well as HEPA masks.
The
Posters in the Kit remind employees about the dangers
of Tuberculosis. The Videotape and Employee Booklets include
information on history of tuberculosis as a disease.
