TB Skin Testing (1&2)
Expert Occupational Health Services for Your Business
At Onsite OccHealth, we provide professional Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Testing services for both initial (Step 1) and follow-up (Step 2) assessments. TB skin testing is a vital occupational health screening tool used to detect exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis.
Our testing process follows all Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) guidelines to ensure accurate and reliable results. The two-step method is often required for healthcare, education, and public safety workers, or for employees undergoing baseline testing prior to potential future exposure.
- Step 1 involves the initial administration and reading of the Mantoux tuberculin test, typically reviewed within 48–72 hours.
- Step 2 is completed 1–3 weeks later to confirm an accurate baseline immune response.
Each test is performed by trained healthcare professionals in a controlled environment to ensure clinical accuracy, compliance, and employee safety.
Onsite OccHealth offers both in-clinic and mobile testing options, making it convenient for employers to screen individuals or large groups efficiently. Our streamlined reporting system ensures that results are securely documented and shared in accordance with privacy and medical confidentiality standards.
