The American Dental Association will offer a live continuing education webinar covering OSHA and CDC guidelines for clinical practice safety.
The American Dental Association (ADA) will host a live webinar on December 3 covering current infection control requirements, recommendations, and industry regulations for dental professionals.
Reviewing OSHA and CDC Guidelines
The course, titled “Infection Control and OSHA: What Every Team Member Must Know and Do,” will take place from 5 to 8 pm CST. It is designed to provide dental professionals and practice teams with the knowledge and tools needed to meet compliance standards and minimize risks to patients and staff across clinical areas.
The presentation will review Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) bloodborne pathogens requirements, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for dental settings, and additional guidance from professional organizations.
Clinical Implementation and Registration
The webinar aims to translate regulatory guidelines into actionable steps for clinical settings. Specific topics include sterilization, instrument reprocessing, waterline management, environmental cleaning, the use of personal protective equipment, and administrative controls.
Participants will earn three continuing education credits for completing the course. The event is not included in the standard ADA continuing education subscription. A 10% early registration discount is available through November 18, with prices scheduled to increase on November 19.
