Safety Requirements for Veterinary Dentistry


For the veterinary dentistry practice, OSHA requires that the employer provide safety glasses, masks, and gloves for all employees who perform dental procedures (Figure 4-1). The employee is responsible for wearing the safety equipment during all procedures. After all, it is the employee’s health that is at stake, and flying debris or other substances can easily cause infections if the employee neglects to wear the safety protection provided. Employees must always be careful to take responsibility for their own safety by wearing the necessary safety equipment and should not expect their employers to remind them before each potentially hazardous procedure.
