As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, OSHA has been enforcing compliance with the Respiratory Protection and other safety standards in dental practices. Non-compliance with OSHA requirements can be costly to a practice in the event of an inspection – especially an unannounced inspection. This CE webinar will review checklists of OSHA requirements for training, documentation, hazard assessments and more to assist practices in practicing safely and being prepared in an inspector walked in the office. The webinar will also focus on public health protocols and resources that will help practices to be informed and prepared for future outbreaks of infectious disease.

Upon completion of this CE webinar, participants will be able to:
• Assess their practice’s level of compliance with all OSHA safety standards applicable to them.
• Organize systems and protocols to monitor and maintain OSHA-required documentation.
• Develop OSHA-required written safety plans for Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazard Communication and Respiratory Protection.
• Evaluate existing protocols for any changes necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic.   ( disclaimer, bio and commercial disclosure )
