Eyewash........ more information

We at Dynamic Dental Safety have addressed the eyewash station in a number of blogs to date. Location, usage, and documentation of monitoring of this device are essential for all staff to exhibit their knowledge.

Now, a situation that has presented itself on numerous occasions, we feel is important to address for each and every dental office. Due to our labor and work situations, we in the dental field are sometimes confronted with the need to employ a "temp" in our office. This may seem like an innocuous situation, however, it may pose some serious liability for our dental office.

Take for example the "temp" who might accidentally have something affect his or her eye(s). If we at the dental office did not take the time to "show" this individual where the eyewash was located and how to operate it........ and further to document this ....... we might be assuming untold liability.

For assistance with this or any other compliance issue facing the dental office, please contact us a Dynamic Dental Safety for our cost effective solutions for your dental office at:
