Hello!
Welcome to The Dental Safety Compliance Blog. The purpose of this forum is to share information and practical tips to help dental health care professionals maintain regulatory compliance in their offices. This includes, but is not limited to compliance with:
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines
- State Health Department Regulations
- Dental Board Regulations
In addition, we are truly concerned with the health and safety of dental health care professionals. The health care sector is now acknowledged to be one of the nation’s most dangerous industries. Healthcare workers are at risk of serious injury and illness from a myriad of hazards including biological (e.g. bloodborne pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B and C), chemical (e.g. gluteraldehyde, nitrous oxide, etc.), ergonomic (e.g. back strain), physical (e.g. radiation, latex allergy, violence) and psychosocial (e.g. workplace stress).
Our overall hope is to exchange information to help make all our dental practices SAFE for both our patients and staff.
We greatly look forward to YOUR active participation in this forum!
