The Occupational Safety & Health Administrative Act of 1970 was created to assure safe and healthy working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, education, research and information. Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment; to protect their employees from hazards.
Absolute OSHA Consulting, LLC provides the necessary information, tools and training that your office needs to assure compliance with OSHA regulations. This in-office concept provides the dental office the opportunity to express concerns, ask questions and visibly see how their offices are compliant.
The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 established national standards to protect the privacy of personal health information. This rule requires safeguards to protect this information.
In 2006 Indiana legislation was passed that requires dentists and dental hygienists to obtain two (2) hours of continuing education in ethics, professional responsibility and Indiana law. This course discusses what ethics are; what your professional responsibilities are and covers many areas of the Indiana practice act. Examples of ethics situations/dilemmas are also discussed.
Heart disease continues to be one of the top diseases that affect both men and women. Learning what factors can contribute to heart disease and being certified in CPR can make your office prepared for emergencies that may happen in your dental offices. This intense cardiopulmonary training teaches the dental personnel adult/child/infant CPR along with the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator).
Management of Emergencies in the Dental Office will give you a hands-on approach to recognizing medical/dental emergencies and demonstrating skills used during such emergencies. This is an interactive class.
“We recently completed our OSHA training, as well as our Ethics training. The beauty of Kathy’s system is that it is done at our office! We don’t have to make our team travel, and being at our office, it’s much easier for our team to ask very specific questions about our practice. Kathy does a tremendous job of informing us of any changes, and exactly how it pertains to our practice. I highly recommend bringing Kathy to your office!”
