Dental compliance is a major focus for dental practices but how does that translate for health and safety compliance? Are you meeting your obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA 2015) or brushing over the surface and failing to safeguard yourself, your practice, and your employees. Join me as we take a deep drive through all levels of health and safety obligations, and what it means for the dental practice.
Learning outcomes
Ten bites of safety wisdom that could save you a lot of pain.
This ten-part series will work from the top down. From governance to employees and who needs to know what. What is a contractor and how do they fit into the dental practices’ health and safety. Putting it all together in a health and safety management plan and making sure you know how to keep it compliant. Are you really prepared for the unexpected outside the Dental Council regulations and how that information can help everyone across the dental industry. We will cover knowledge, engagement, behaviours and embedding a safety culture in your dental practice that works for everyone.
