U.S. News 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.
