ICOH calls for a strong global effort to promote occupational safety and health strategies to prevent TB in high-risk worker populations

The International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) recently put out two statements advocating for work place interventions to prevent TB among health workers and silica exposed workers (e.g. construction and mining). ICOH is also hoping to have these opportunities to prevent TB highlighted in the final declaration of the UN High-Level Meeting on TB in September.
