Our policy is as follows: State law requires the City to test employees assigned to certain job classifications for tuberculosis (TB) throughout their employment. Employees assigned to "first responder-oriented" classifications (e.g., police officers, firefighters, etc.) must be tested at the time of hire and every year thereafter; Community and Cultural Services (CCS) employees assigned to work with school age children in the City's "recreation/enrichment/childcare" programs must be tested at the time of hire and every four years thereafter.  Human Resources is responsible for ensuring TB testing is completed for all new hires as part of the Pre-employment Physical Exam process¹. Department supervisors are responsible for ensuring all on-going TB testing is carried out and documented in compliance with State law.

The procedures for each department are attached. Thanks!
