DEADLINE APPROACHING: Annual TB and Fit Testing

The annual tuberculin screening (aka TST/PPD) and respirator fit testing is still ongoing for all team members at Cooper except those working at Cooper Cape locations. Cooper Cape team members will receive a separate email with their schedule.

To view the updated 2025 clinic schedule, click hereThe deadline to receive testing is July 31, 2025.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires annual PPD/TST skin tests and respirator fit testing for specific team members based on their occupational risk, as determined by Infection Prevention. Those who need testing will be notified via email.

Fit testing takes time to complete to ensure that a respirator properly seals to a team member’s face. It’s a two-step process that includes a sensitivity test followed by a fit check. Please plan accordingly.

Before attending, team members and leaders should log into iCooper to review their assigned screening and testing for 2025. Employee Health nurses will be on-site to confirm your required screening, testing, or risk assessment.

All Cooper team members, even those for whom testing is not required, must complete the tuberculin risk assessment questionnaire.
