Health care workers were at particular risk. Although the occupational risk of tuberculosis has been declining in recent years, this new book from the Institute of Medicine concludes that vigilance in tuberculosis control is still needed in workplaces and communities. Tuberculosis in the Workplace reviews evidence about the effectiveness of control measures-such as those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-intended to prevent transmission of tuberculosis in health care and other workplaces. It discusses whether proposed regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration would likely increase or sustain compliance with effective control measures and would allow adequate flexibility to adapt measures to the degree of risk facing workers.TuberculosisUnited StatesMedical personnelHealth risk assessmentUnited StatesTuberculosisPreventionGovernment policyUnited StatesTuberculosisMedical personnelHealth risk assessmentTuberculosisPreventionGovernment policy614.5/42/0973Field Marilyn J(Marilyn Jane)1804195Institute of Medicine (U.S.) Committee on Regulating Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973798503321Tuberculosis in the workplace4352207UNINA
