TB and PPD Skin Testing in Thousand Oaks
AFC Urgent Care Thousand Oaks provides TB testing and PPD skin testing for employees who need
tuberculosis screening for employment, healthcare work, education, volunteer programs, or other occupational
requirements.
A TB skin test, also called a tuberculin skin test or PPD test, is used to determine whether a
person's immune system has reacted to tuberculosis bacteria.
How Does a TB/PPD Skin Test Work?
The TB skin test requires two visits.
During the first visit, a small amount of testing solution is placed just under the skin of the forearm. The
patient
then returns to have the test site examined by a trained healthcare professional.
The CDC recommends that a TB skin test be read 48 to 72 hours after it is placed.
If the patient does not return during that window, another test may be necessary.
Who May Need TB Testing?
TB screening may be requested for people working or participating in settings such as:
- Healthcare facilities
- Schools and childcare environments
- Long-term care facilities
- Certain government or public-service positions
- Volunteer organizations
- Employer health programs
- Jobs with specific workplace exposure requirements
CDC guidance recommends baseline TB screening for U.S. healthcare personnel when they are hired, which can
include a
risk assessment, symptom evaluation, and either a TB blood test or TB skin test.
What Should You Bring for a TB Test?
Patients should bring:
- A government-issued photo ID
- Any employer or school authorization forms
- Previous TB testing records, if available
- Information about previous positive TB tests or TB treatment
- Any documentation required by the requesting organization
A positive TB skin test does not by itself determine whether someone has active TB disease. Additional medical
evaluation may be needed.
Ability and Performance Testing
Some jobs require employees to demonstrate that they can safely perform specific physical tasks or work in
environments with particular health and safety requirements.
AFC Thousand Oaks provides several occupational performance and specialty evaluations based on employer needs.
Lift Testing
Lift testing may be used to evaluate whether an employee can safely perform lifting requirements associated with
a
particular job.
The evaluation may help employers assess physical capabilities against defined job demands.
Post-Injury and Impairment Evaluations
Following certain workplace injuries, employers may request follow-up evaluations to help determine an employee's
functional status, work restrictions, or readiness to return to work.
Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function testing evaluates how well the lungs move air and may be requested for workers in jobs
involving
respiratory exposures or respiratory protection programs.
Respirator Fit Testing
Respirator fit testing helps determine whether a specific respirator forms an appropriate seal for the individual
wearing it.
Not all testing services are available at every AFC location. Please contact AFC Thousand Oaks in advance
to
confirm respirator fit testing availability and employer-specific requirements.
Occupational Laboratory Testing
AFC Thousand Oaks provides access to laboratory testing that may be required for workplace health programs,
occupational evaluations, or employer-directed medical exams.

- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
- Urinalysis

- Rapid strep testing
- Influenza testing
- Hemoccult testing

Testing availability and turnaround times depend on the specific test ordered.

testing
protocol.

AFC Thousand Oaks offers on-site digital X-ray services that can help evaluate certain workplace injuries and
medical
concerns.
X-rays may be appropriate when evaluating conditions such as:
- Suspected fractures
- Joint injuries
- Certain sprains or strains
- Chest-related occupational screenings when medically indicated
- Other conditions requiring diagnostic imaging
When additional specialty care is necessary, AFC providers can recommend appropriate follow-up or referral.
What to Expect During Workplace Testing
The exact process depends on the test or exam requested by your employer.
In most cases, employees should:
- Bring a government-issued photo ID.
- Bring employer authorization paperwork or testing instructions.
- Inform staff which employer or organization requested the test.
- Bring relevant medical information when the exam requires it.
- Follow any preparation instructions provided by the employer or AFC.
