That's not medical: States and perhaps municipalities make those regulations. You can either call or find their website for that information.

Once per year: Night sweats, weight loss, with known exposure to active TB case. That's a different matter.

Probably varies...: The time between TB tests probably varies depending on the desires of the employer and the local laws. Just to be on the safe side, a worker who is healthy and had a negative PPD can ask for routine PPD screening every 1-2 years. A worker can also wear a mask around any coughing patients, to avoid catching whatever germs the patients have.
