On another note I believe the contractors on your site do not have this health check as they have alternative OH providers negotiated by their various head offices.

If an individual does not have a visible BCG scar or has not provided documentary evidence of prior vaccination or positive skin test – are you carrying our mantoux Skin testing prior to passing fit for employment? I look forward to hearing what others are doing.
