Infection control and bloodborne pathogen management are essential elements of dental practices, ensuring the safety of both patients and dental professionals by minimizing the risk of infectious disease transmission. Effective infection control protocols help reduce the chances of cross-contamination and the spread of harmful pathogens, with a key focus on preventing the transmission of bloodborne diseases, such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. These diseases can be transmitted through contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard under (29 CFR 1910.1030), setting clear guidelines for workplace safety.
This training is required annually for dental healthcare practitioners to remain in compliance with OSHA standards. The course will cover all the recommended training components on bloodborne pathogens, ensuring dental professionals are up to date on essential infection control practices.
