Dental & Medical Office Course Bundle

Online Training Certification Course

From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.

This office hazards training program is designed to provide the core healthcare safety training content encouraged or required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Dental and medical offices present a range of hazards to employees and patients. This online training course bundles content from the following courses into a single package for healthcare facilities of any size:

Bloodborne pathogens (and Needlestick Safety and Prevention)
Hazard communication (Worker Right to Know)
Ionizing Radiation
Exit routes
Electrical Safety

This course is for:
Employees who are exposed to OSHA dental and medical office hazards must receive adequate training. For instance, physicians, nurses, dentists, hygienists, laboratory technicians, and related professions are all subject to OSHA regulations. This regulation applies to medical and dental offices in which there are two or more employees.

Case Study: A medical intern was performing a lumbar puncture on an HIV-infected patient and was stuck with the needle on his little finger. A small lesion with minimal bleeding occurred later at the injury site, leading the intern to immediately wash the site with soap and water. Two weeks after the injury the intern began experiencing swelling and discomfort, and a culture was done to identify the cause. The intern had contracted a Staphylococcus infection and had an open wound that persisted for several months, spreading through the hand. He also developed night sweats and a low-grade fever. Though he was placed on an intensive round of prescriptions, he was not improving. Another set of cultures taken months after the injury showed that he had also contracted tuberculosis, and he began another series of treatment with rifampicin and isoniazid. After six months of this treatment, the intern had completely recovered.

Key Takeaways: It is important to immediately treat any needlestick injury. Doing so might have saved the intern from an almost 12-month process of recovery.

Exam

It will take a MINIMUM of 10 hours to complete this online course. The student may log on and off as needed. A bookmark will be set so when they log back in they will return to where they left off.

We have no restrictions on how long a person takes to complete a course. Likewise, if you are purchasing for others, we have no time limit on assigning courses. So you can purchase a larger quantity than you currently need and take advantage of volume discounts.

Personnel in OSHA medical and dental offices should receive retraining based on the most restrictive regulatory standard, which is OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens. This regulation mandates training at the time of initial assignment to tasks in which exposure may take place as well as annually thereafter. This online certification meets both the initial and recurrent guidelines.

We will notify you twenty-one days before before retraining is required.

Each student will receive 1.0 CEUs (or 10 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.

I am a dental assistant and most of the topics covered are related to my profession. I found topics on fire protection and electrical safety were extensive for me.
