Description:

Is there anything this good safety training can’t do? Does it: Fulfill the annual OSHA training requirement? Yup! Give CE credit for Infection Control? Totally! Protect the team? So safe! Breathe freshness into your compliance program? Like cotton sheets drying in a mountain breeze! And if you need more convincing, you’ll have the tools to keep your safety program humming like a finely tuned sports car. Even if you think you’ve heard it all before, you’ve never heard it the way Ms. Daw, “The OSHA Lady,” delivers safety training for dental professionals. With a fresh, fun and efficient approach, Ms. Daw will keep things moving, always grounded in real-world examples of what can go wrong (sometimes in a matter of seconds) if you let our guard down. Complacency is the enemy in infection control and safety; Ms. Daw’s in-depth, informative course will put principle into practice by taking an unexpected, engaging approach to compliance training topics like hand hygiene, instrument sterilization and PPE. Leave the OSHA and CDC blinders on the shelf for a little while, and let Ms. Daw guide your team through an entertaining, interactive and potentially life-saving course exclusively tailored for dental healthcare professionals. Ms. Daw offers a repeat of this course (C33) on Friday, June 30 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This lecture satisfies the DANB infection control requirements.

Learning objectives:

Participants will be able to:

  • discuss key standards and recommendations from OSHA and the CDC that will keep your dental office up to date on the latest guidelines and requirements.

  • list simple tweaks to save time and money in instrument reprocessing and give the dental practice hours back in productivity.

  • review checklists and resources to streamline procedures, reduce liability, and enhance safety for the well-being of team members, patients, and the practice.
