INSTRUCTIONS FOR NOAA TEACHER AT SEA PARTICIPANTS
DUE - XX/XX/XXXX
1. Be sure to fill out all necessary fields and sign and date the form. A doctor’s signature is
required on the TB
(PPD) Screening Document, which must be submitted along with a copy of the test results. The form must be
legible and complete. nreadable or incomplete forms will be returned to the applicant.
2. Once you have completed the forms, please fax them to 301-263-7699 . DO NOT EMAIL DOCUMENT as it
contains private information that cannot be sent through email. Once we receive your form, we will send it to our
medical officer who will determine if you are fit for sea duty. You will only hear back from us about your form if
there is an issue. You will hear directly from the medical officer if they have a question.
Important Note: If you have any changes to your health (after you submit your medical form) or work
status, we ask that you contact us immediately, as these are important factors for participation in our program.

All positive responses in the General Screening and Cardiac Screening sections require a detailed
explanation in the space provided. The Continuation Page may be used if more space is needed. An indication of
hypertension requires the most recent blood pressure reading. An indication of diabetes requires the most recent
glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reading.
All persons embarked aboard a NOAA ship must have a test for tuberculosis (TB)
within the 12 months preceding the project end date. MOC Health Services accepts three tests
to detect exposure to the TB bacteria; the Purified Protein Derivative (PPD or TB skin test), the
QuantiFERON-TB test (QFT or TB blood test), and the T-spot blood test. PPD results must be
recorded in millimeters (mm) and not documented as positive or negative. QuantiFERON-TB
and the T-spot results must be indicated as negative, positive, or indeterminate. You must also
include a copy of the TB test from your doctor.
All persons embarked on a NOAA ship must be able to perform normal work functions
and minimal personal emergency response functions while the ship is underway. During an
abandon ship event, personnel may have to don a survival suit and/or descend a rope ladder to
a life raft or rescue craft. Personnel deploying in small boats for operations may have to
ascend and descend a rope ladder. A rope ladder (as pictured to the right) is a heavy duty
ladder with rigid rungs that hangs over the side of the ship used for underway embarkation and
disembarkation of personnel. A survival suit (as pictured to the right) is a full-body single-piece
coverall designed to provide thermal protection to personnel immersed in water. A person at
sea should be able to don a survival suit in one minute while fully clothed and without having
to remove shoes. All negative responses in the Functional Abilities Screening section require
additional explanation on the Continuation Page.
Do not write in the “MOC Health Services Use Only” section. Use the Continuation
Page to provide any additional information. Direct all questions regarding the information
required on this form to the MOC Health Services Medical Officer at MOC-Atlantic
(757) 441-6320.

SECTION 3: If you completed Section 2, you must obtain a physical examination from your medical provider. Your medical provider must complete
this section. All associated medical records must be sent to NOAA Health Services.

NOAA policy requires that all persons with a recent or remote positive test for exposure to the tuberculosis bacteria
must obtain an annual physical examination by a licensed medical provider (physician, nurse practitioner, or physician
assistant) to determine if latent TB infection or active disease is present, and if persons with latent infection are at high
risk for developing active disease. This annual examination must include interpretation of a chest x-ray less than 5 years
old. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines and NOAA Health Services policy require persons with
latent infections who are at high risk of developing active disease to initiate prophylactic treatment before obtaining
medical clearance from NOAA Health Services to sail on a NOAA ship.
I have examined this patient following the NOAA Medical Policy and determined this patient has:
Latent TB infection with low risk of developing active disease.
Latent TB infection with high risk of developing active disease.
Prophylactic Medication/s Prescribed: ______________________________________________________
