All volunteers are required to take the TB Skin test if they volunteer within the hospital; we have some that do volunteer work in thier homes so they are not given the skin test.

All new volunteers have to take the 2-Step TB Skin Test and then one yearly.

Just a follow up to my original post:

Our Employee Wellness team has removed the requirement for an annual TB stick from ALL non-high-risk personnel.  Instead, we answer a questionnaire about symptoms and file that document.  This includes me and my staff and all volunteers (since none of mine are in potentially exposure situations) as well as many other clerical or administrative staff.

They are still requiring the two-step stick for initial volunteer applicants.

So now, all I have to do is collect an extra piece of paper as part of our annual education requirements and that fulfills the TB requirement as well.

No, we do not charge for tb tests.  However, we only hold a tb clinic for volunteers every other Wednesday morning for an hour and a half in the morning so we are finding that more and more people are choosing to get at least one of the two test done on their own at their expense.

All of our volunteers and staff no matter where they work have to have two TB tests when starting and then one annually. 

We do not do TB testing on any of volunteers, they fill out an Initial and therafter an annual Health Questionnaire that Employee Health revies . If they think it is necessary after they reveiw the history form they will contact volunteer(which has not happened that i am aware of). This has been reviewd by Administration, Legal, Compliance staff etc. TJC has said nothing about our practice.
