Welcome to Los Angeles County, Department of Health Services (DHS). You are required to obtain a
health clearance by Employee Health Services (EHS) prior to beginning your work assignment. You
must successfully complete the Human Resources in-processing and criminal background check prior
to beginning the EHS health clearance process. This packet includes health screening forms and
questionnaires that should be completed by you and your physician or a licensed health care
professional (PLHCP) prior to your visit to EHS for your health clearance. Only return the E2
certificate and appropriate forms if indicated to EHS on the day of your appointment/visit.
This packet contains the following forms/questionnaires:
E2 Pre-Placement Tuberculosis History and Evidence of Immunity -This form contains
the pre-placement health screening requirements needed to work at a DHS facility. Tuberculosis
screening and evidence of immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases are mandatory.
K-NC This form is a declination to receiving any non-mandatory vaccines
N-NC This form is used for a N95 respirator fit test to be completed by your PLHCP. If your
job assignment requires a N95 respirator, you must be fit tested for the N95 respirator. If your
job assignment involves Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIR), you will need to be fit tested.
If your job assignment does not involve AIIR, you will not need to complete this form or the
questionnaire below (Form P-NC).
o P-NC This form is an Aerosol Transmissible Disease Respirator Medical Evaluation
Questionnaire. You must complete this questionnaire and submit to your PLHCP prior
to the respirator fit test.
**NOTE**: N95 respirator is the most commonly used respirator in DHS facility,
however, if you need a respirator greater than a N95 (such as full-face respirator), you
must complete the Respirator Medical Evaluation Questionnaire (Form O-NC) and
submit to your PLHCP prior to fit test. Form O-NC is available on EHS link at
www.dhs.lacounty.gov .
Once you have been cleared by EHS, you may report to Human Resources to obtain an ID badge and

When new style of respirator face piece is to be worn by WFM.

WFM reports, or the Physician or Licensed Health Care Professional (PLHCP), supervisor, or Program Administrator
