How do you really know if you have a proper infectious disease preparedness plan for your dental practice or dental laboratory?

Your written program is an important factor in the success of your action plan. Having canned material that is not customized to reflect your business policies and procedures can make yourself and your business vulnerable. Once your plan is written, then conveying it to your staff is also imperative. Doing so helps protect you, your staff and their families, plus your patients and visitors.  


Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer "no" to any of them, then you most likely don't have a proper plan in place therefore putting you and your business at risk.

Are your policies for COVID-19 exposure situations in writing and published to your employees?

Do you have written COVID-19 employee and patient exposure policies?

Do you have a written return to work policy?

Do you have written employee and patient screening policies?

Do you have a written COVID-19 hazard assessment as required by OSHA?

Do you have a written respiratory protection program?

If you are using N-95 respirators have you met OSHA's requirement for fit testing and medical assessment?

Do you have an expert you can call when you need assistance with exposure situations and writing policies?
