OSHA Compliance Dental Professional
For decades healthcare professionals have been required to follow various OSHA regulations—most notably the Bloodborne Pathogens and the Hazard Communication Standards. Yet not many clinicians, safety coordinators or practice owners have taken the time to thoroughly review the OSHA regulations that apply specifically to dentistry. In addition to the Bloodborne Pathogens and the Hazard Communication Standards, these include Ionizing Radiation, Exit Route Standards, Electrical Standards and Laser Safety, among others.
This 7-hour dental OSHA training course leads you through the key OSHA regulations that impact your practice and helps you to understand what the compliance expectations are for each applicable regulation.
