A: It might seem obvious, but the first thing to do is to be
proactive. Don’t wait until inspectors have visited the office
and begun to sanction fines and warnings. Schedule some
time for training with a consultant sooner rather than later.

Increased Visibility &
Enhanced Clinical Outcomes
A: Most dental offices are already short staffed. Especially
in recent years, when we have all been tightening our belts.
Too many times the busy pace makes it easy to forget
annual training obligations. The best way to ensure you
keep in compliance with your annually required training is
to work with a company that will send you reminders, or
better yet, schedule your next year’s training at the time of
this year’s training! We do it with hygiene re-care patients,
why wouldn’t we do it with something as important as a
federal requirement? DentalEnhancements.com encourages
pre-booking so you are never left vulnerable. We also send
email reminders, phone calls and postcards to remind you
when it is time for your federally required OSHA update.

Q: W
hat is one of the key benefits of having an
OSHA consultant on board?
A: A consultant will make sure your facility is up to safety
standards to avoid expensive fines. Make sure you work
with an OSHA coaching service that will walk through your
facility or review all of the physical safety statutes associated
with a dental office within your state. My company, Dental
Enhancements, provides a very comprehensive 72-point
facility checklist. It’s completed over the phone with office
staff, and a post-evaluation report is instantly emailed to
your office so you can review where you may be remiss with
OSHA safety. A good consultant will also help you rectify
your problems. One more thing: ask your OSHA compliance
company what type of offices they service. If they work with
doctors, dentists, hospitals and veterinarians, you may not
get the specific expertise and attention you deserve. As a
dental hygienist of 20+ years, I have kept my focus only
on dental office OSHA. This provides peace-of-mind and
accuracy when interacting to get your OSHA requirements up
to federal and state standards.
