  • information and training of the health operators;
  • health surveillance of the health operators:
    1. screening programme (tuberculin test)
    2. BCG vaccination in the tuberculin test negative
    3. isoniazid chemoprophylaxis in the cuticonverted subjects
  • structural interventions (artificial ventilation systems, filtering plants, UV lamps, pressurized rooms);
  • employment of respiratory personal protective devices.
