California Dental Practice Act and Infection Control
California Dental Practice Act
The California Dental Practice Act is the chapter of the California Business & Professions Code that contains the basic body of laws governing Dentistry (Business & Professions Code (B&P) 1600).

This course has been designed to summarize the Dental Practice Act and related laws through the current year.

- Distinguish between direct and indirect supervision and define which auxiliary responsibilities are in each category.

OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens and Aerosol Transmitted Diseases Compliance Training
(Infection Control)
In the United States, the government agency responsible for worker safety is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration otherwise known as OSHA. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard is a federal OSHA regulation (29 CFR 1910.1030) that prescribes safeguards to protect staff against the health hazards from exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials, and to reduce their risk from this exposure. In some states, it has been mandated that all Medical and Dental Staff do Aerosol Transmitted Diseases (ATD) training once a year to prevent the spread of ATDs.
Mr. Rahnama will present on these OSHA guidelines and will specifically cover:
- The Basics of Bloodborne diseases
- Aerosol Transmissible Diseases
- PPE and safe work practices
- Exposure prevention
- The most common errors and violations in a dental practice
