2025 OSHA: Align for Safety!

Jackie Dorst presents our annual OSHA training, 2025 OSHA -- Align for Safety! (1.0 CE)

Align is to move to a position of agreement. Orthodontic teams know how to align teeth! And in this webinar, Jackie Dorst guides attendees for alignment on Infection Control and OSHA Safety Standards.

Just like Orthodontic Treatment Alignment, Orthodontic teams move to compliance with CDC infection control guidelines and OSHA safety in 3 phases:

1. Planning | 2. Alignment | 3. Retention

Attendees will learn how to “Plan” for CDC’s recommendations and guidelines for preventing disease transmission by following the 7 Standards Precautions of Hand Hygiene, PPE, Respiratory Protection, Sharps Safety, Safe Injection Practices, Sterile Instruments and Devices and Clean and Disinfect Surfaces. Safety for the orthodontic team requires alignment with OSHA’s employee safety laws on preventing Infectious Disease transmission, Radiation safety, Chemical safety, Emergency Preparedness, Respiratory Protection, Hazardous waste management and contaminated Sharps disposal. This webinar provides the OSHA Safety “Alignment” with orthodontic employee safety training and use of safety devices. Webinar attendees learn how to “Retain” safety protocols through recordkeeping, testing and checklists for ensuring safety doesn’t relapse!

Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate correct surface disinfection protocol
• Identify correct PPE for orthodontic procedures
• List 3 contaminated sharp items that go into a sharps container
