TB Free workplace committee

Read this page to know about the TB Free workplace commitee

While the overall accountability of adopting and implementing the workplace policy rests with the management (Director Board/Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director), for day to day co-ordination and implementation of activities, it is desirable to have a workplace committee in place. 

TB free workplace committee needs to be established with clear terms of reference.

The committee needs to: 

•  Prepare annual action plan related to workplace intervention for ending TB. 

• Mobilize resources, including identification of volunteers, for implementation of action plan. 

•  Implement the interventions as per the action plan

For smaller workplaces (Up to 100 workers), if it’s difficult to establish a committee, a nodal person from the organization may be nominated to oversee planning and implementation of workplace intervention on TB.

Composition of workplace committee

• The Committee would have representative from senior management as chair. 

• Other members include representatives from Human Resource Department, Medical/OSH Unit, CSR wing, Welfare Department and representatives of workers. 

• A person cured from TB/TB Champion may also be included in the committee. 

• Additionally, committee’s gender balance may be maintained.
