Exposure to TB is an issue in my workplace - but accessing any form of training etc was a nightmare, so we farmed it out. If you do get the training it is hard to access supplies as well Do you really NEED to have to undertake this work on a regular basis? If it is to do the odd one or a small batch the maybe better off getting someone else to do it.

Is this query in relation to healthcare workers or travellers? It might be better to consider if a blood test would be suitable (for detecting latent TB) Alternatively tapping into a current OH provider who can do this test and vaccination if this is what is required.
