Occupational Health and Safety in YOUR Dental Office
All staff in the dental practice, not just dentists, share the goal of making the workplace safe and healthy. The Occupational Health and Safety Act provides the legal framework and tools to achieve this goal.
Make no mistake, the Act is law – it is not optional. The Act sets out the rights, responsibilities and duties of all parties in the workplace. It defines workplace hazards and provides enforcement of the law where compliance has not been achieved voluntarily by dental office workers.
Dentists are required to comply with the safety laws of Ontario to effectively operate their business in the province. Governmental health and safety regulations represent minimum requirements. Dental practices have to augment these regulations with specific procedures focusing on the type of work that they do.
Could your dental office pass an Occupational Health and Safety inspection?
