NUT TB in schools briefing

Britain: TUC tuberculosis briefing for reps
TUC has produced an online briefing for safety reps, outlining occupational infection risks posed by tuberculosis (TB). The guide outlines the law and provides a prevention checklist for safety reps, covering notification of risks, provision of infection control advice, routine and post exposure screening and vaccination. TUC says where workers are at higher risk, “consideration should be given to prevention through immunisation for those not yet vaccinated.”
