Hi,

  If anyone can briefing telling me should a personnel whose job
function is preparing and dealing with any sterilled products be
screened for any infectious disease like TB and Hepatitis?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

It is a requirement of (US) Good Manufacturing Practice regulations that
workers report infectious conditions, such as open lesions, respiratory
diseases, etc., to supervisors.  This process should function based upon the
worker's awareness (by training) of their impact on the product.  Most (US)
companies provide physical examinations to their production employees, where
'testing' for infectious conditions could be employed.

Since it's been quite a while since my manufacturing days, I suppose the
issues of civil liberties and political correctness have to be considered.

Is there any guidelines or practice that requires mandatory screening
of hepatitis and TB for personnel preparing sterile products? The
sterile products here are eye drops, total parenteral nutrition, and
chemotherapy preparations?
