Tuberculosis (TB) has infected almost a third of the world's population. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.7 to 2 billion people are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The report based on health centers at Bandung, 2482 people in 2011 had been infected TB. West Java has the largest number of people with the TB disease. One of the groups that have the highest rate of TB infection is health care worker. Health care workers are exposed directly by the agent of the patients’ disease. On the other hand, the health care workers are already trained by the health department in order to reduce the danger of exposure to TB. Therefore, to know the cause of the incidence of TB among health care workers, we need more research In this research, measurements and interviews on health care workers we done (to examine) environmental factors and nonenvironmental factors that related to the incidence of TB in the health center of Bandung. Three types of method used are the method of Chi Square, ANOVA and logistic regression. The sample size of three health centers namely Kopo, Babatan and Tamblong with the number of health care workers who processed the data as many as 30 full-time workers. In the model summary, there is a value of R Square of 0.608 or 60.8% of TB variable that can be explained by the variable light, humidity, ventilation capacity and duration of work.
