Shelters and TB: What Staff Need to Know, Second Edition

This video helps train all shelter staff and volunteers about how to prevent the spread of TB in homeless shelters. It describes what TB is, how it is spread, what to do when you suspect someone has TB, how to develop and implement a TB infection control policy, and how you and your local health department can work together to create a healthy and safe environment for staff and clients.

The accompanying viewer’s guide expands on the content covered in the 18-minute video and serves as a reference guide containing additional information, resources, templates, and checklists to help establish your shelter’s TB infection control policy.
