Tuberculosis Testing screens for latent TB infection, which is required for healthcare workers, childcare workers, and many other occupations. Two primary testing methods are available: the tuberculin skin test (TST/PPD) and interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) blood tests like QuantiFERON-TB Gold.

The TST requires two visits: placement and reading 48-72 hours later. IGRA blood tests require only one visit and are preferred for BCG-vaccinated individuals. Positive results require follow-up with chest X-ray and possibly treatment.

Through BlueHive's network of independent providers, employers can access both TB testing methods, with rapid results and compliance documentation.

DOL Cancels 2026 Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment — OSHA Maximum Penalties Stay at 2025 Levels (91 FR 31358)

medium

For the first time since annual adjustments began under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, the Department of Labor will make no inflation adjustment to its civil monetary penalties for 2026 — OSHA maximum penalties remain at 2025 levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish October 2025 CPI-U data because of the appropriations lapse, and the statute permits no alternative calculation, so OMB memorandum M-26-11 directed agencies to continue applying 2025 penalty amounts. The Department plans a thorough review of its civil penalties in 2027.
