Declaration for a TB Free Workplace setting

Any workplace management can self-declare to be a ‘TB Free Workplace’ based on the check- list provided in Annexure 7.3. The workplace committee can conduct an assessment to review all the interventions and align them with the check-list. Once verified, the management can declare their workplace as a TB Free Workplace setting. This does not mean that there is no TB in the workplace, this means that the workplace has implemented all the interventions to end TB and sufferings due to TB in their workplace. The self-declaration may be valid for a time period of one year and can be renewed by the workplace committee under the same process.

Once the aforementioned process is completed, the organization may inform this to the District TB Center. The District TB Officer or their representative (MOTC, MO-PHI) can review and certify the organization to have moved ‘Towards a TB Free Workplace’.
The role of State TB office is to maintain a district-wise database of organizations that have been certified on moving towards a TB Free Workplace. The Certification (see below) needs to be properly displayed at a prominent location in the workplace.
