Conway, Arkansas Mill Offering Tuberculosis Test to 500 EmployeesAugust 11, 2003 In Conway, Ark., a Kimberly-Clark employee testing positive
for TB has prompted management to offer TB screening to its 500
employees, a plant manager said Thursday. Facility Manager Tim
Painter said the company is offering the tests as a precautionary
measure and will cover the cost of testing. "We're trying to calm
any fears anyone has and answer their questions. We don't know of
anybody else who is sick. We're just trying to keep employees
informed," said Painter. A plant employee was diagnosed with
active TB Monday and the company began testing Tuesday, said
Painter. The testing is being offered at the Conway mill and is
not mandatory for employees.
