Attendees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to meet compliance standards, minimize risks to patients and dental personnel, and strengthen safety across all areas of clinical practice. The course reviews OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens requirements, CDC recommendations for dental settings, and guidance from professional organizations—then translates these into clear, actionable steps for sterilization, instrument reprocessing, waterline management, environmental cleaning, PPE use, and administrative controls that support safe, consistent care.
