OSHA Workshop

A turn-key lnfection Prevention and OSHA Toolkit flash drive is provided for each office attending the seminar that allows you to go paperless for your OSHA and Infection Control Program.  This workshop will take you through all the steps to personalize your OSHA plans for your facility and have it all at your fingertips via your computer. If you so choose, you may print out documents for a hard-copy manual for staff training.   

This workshop is a "must" for dental professionals and for trainers responsible for OSHA compliance and infection prevention in your practice. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to customize their own OSHA plans to reflect new OSHA laws and will have the tools to train at-risk office staff in OSHA compliance and infection control and prevention procedures. Course content includes OSHA law, elements of an employee health program, blood-borne pathogens, how to handle an exposure incident, BODEX requirements and the current CDC dental guidelines. Also included are the new OSHA law requirements for the new Hazard Communication Law, the Global Harmonizing System (GHS) that offices should have started training staff as of December 1, 2013.

Attendees will walk away with the knowledge to:

• Prepare your own custom OSHA plans with minimum effort.

• Train new staff at time of hire and yearly with ease.

• Handle a blood-borne exposure timely, efficiently, and correctly.

• Train staff in OSHA's new Global Harmonizing System.

KAY IS RETIRING!

After working with the Arizona Dental Association since 1991 providing continuing education in Infectious Diseases and Infectious Disease Control, this will be the last OSHA Workshop she will present.  Kay, a registered nurse and an infection preventionist, is board certified in infection control and epidemiology.  She is well known for her knowledge of infection control in the dental setting and providing practical solutions for you and your staff.  If you have not attended one of these workshops or it has been a few years, now is your last chance to pick Kay's brain for all of your OSHA and infection prevention questions.  In addition, for this last presentation, Kay is adding a risk management segment.  She will present information and new procedures for sterilizer monitoring to mirror the current standards of care in our hospitals, which the dental community should also follow, reducing the risk of releasing non-sterile instruments for patient care.
