Occupational Health & Safety Requirements
At UHN we value our relationships with the academic partners as well as the learners. We strive to provide a rich and safe learning environment and part of that process is to ensure that all learners have proper immunization. Please see below the Occupational Health & Safety requirements for all learners
prior to placement hours at any of our facilities.
UHN requires that learners from all health disciplines have the following:

- A 2-step TB skin test (TST) completed within 28 days of one another, completed at any time, OR two separate 1-step TST if both are completed with a 12-month time span. Additional 1-step TST may be required.
- If you have tested positive on a TST, a chest x-ray performed after the positive TST is required.
- BCG vaccination is not a contraindication to TST; documentation of TST is required.
