I am interested in finding out what most jobs require in regards to yearly TB testing. I just got some confusing paperwork from my job in regards to TB testing. Can my job require that I take the 2 step TB testing every year?:confused:

We do the two-step on hire and then yearly thereafter.
Serves me right for trying to compose a post on 1.5 hours of sleep!
Two step on hire...one step every year after that. Unless.....positive test=chest xray once. After that it's a form with questions about TB symptoms.

We are required to get a Quantiferon TB test annually. This requires a blood draw, but no follow-up "reading" !
