Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Hand Hygiene
Sterilization and Disinfection
Waste Management
Radiation Safety
Emergency Preparedness
Chemical Safety
Ergonomics
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be selected based on risk assessment and tasks to be performed.
These items are designed to provide a protective barrier during dental procedures and through the sterilization process. PPE must also be considered for patients as they enter the facility and provided to administrative staff who may be screening them upon arrival.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Gown
Dental Hygiene Care Professionals (DHCP) should wear protective clothing (eg, gowns, jackets) to prevent contamination of scrubs and to protect the skin from exposure to blood and bodily fluids.
Sleeves should be long enough to protect the forearms.
Protective clothing should be changed after use or when it becomes visibly soiled by blood or other bodily fluids.
DHCP should remove protective clothing before leaving the work area.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Eyewear/Face Shields
Protective Eyewear
DHCP should wear protective eyewear with solid side shields or a face shield during procedures likely to generate splashes or sprays of blood or bodily fluids or the spatter of debris. Reusable protective eyewear should be cleaned with soap and water, and when visibly soiled, disinfected between patients.
Personal eyeglasses are not considered PPE.
Protective eyewear should be provided to patients.
Face Shields
Face shields provide full-face coverage.
Must be worn with a face mask.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Gloves
DHCP should wear gloves to prevent contamination of their hands when touching mucous membranes, blood, saliva, or other potentially infectious materials and to reduce the likelihood that microorganisms on their hands will be transmitted to patients during patient care.
Gloves should be used for one patient only and discarded appropriately after use.
Hand hygiene should be performed prior to donning gloves and immediately after glove removal.
Hand Hygiene
Hand hygiene is extremely important to prevent the spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus. It also interrupts the transmission of other viruses and bacteria, thus reducing the overall burden of disease, Dental healthcare facilities should ensure that hand hygiene supplies are readily available in every patient care location.
Pre-washing considerations
Remove jewelry, ring, watches, or bracelets
Remove artificial nails if present.
Cover skin cuts, abrasions, breaks or cracks with waterproof adhesive dressings.
Use running water; avoid dipping or washing hands in a basin of standing water
H 2 bacteriology, sanitation, and sterilization
1) The document discusses bacteriology, sanitation, and sterilization as they relate to personal service work.
2) It defines various microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi and explains the differences between them. It also discusses diseases caused by pathogens.
3) Proper sanitation and sterilization techniques are important to prevent disease transmission between clients and includes handwashing, glove usage, disinfection, and sterilization of equipment.
Workplace safety infection control
Infection is caused by pathogens ('bugs') such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa or fungi getting into or onto the body.
It can take some time before the microbes multiply enough to trigger symptoms of illness, which means an infected person may unwittingly be spreading the disease during this incubation period.
Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with a person in the first place.
Employers are obliged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (2004) to provide a safe workplace for their employees, including the provision of adequate infection control procedures and the right equipment and training.
