Tests were conducted Monday on workers at the Bartlett-Collins Indiana Glass plant. Health Department workers say the employees were exposed to someone with TB. Brenda Cummings with the Creek County Health Department, "This is one way of detecting if there's any positives and if there 'are' any positives, we'll do further testing for chest films and asking if they have any symptoms."
