As part of ASHI’s Safety Series, the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program assists employers in satisfying the information and training requirements of the U.S Department of Labor (OSHA, MSHA) and other agencies. Hazard communication will be defined as well as differentiating between Physical and Health hazards. A clear discussion will present how to read and understand warning labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Learn the appropriate measures that should be taken to protect others, the environment and yourself from chemical hazards. Outline the appropriate procedures to follow in the event of a chemical exposure, spill or leak.

We cover all the basics, plus specialized techniques. Our standard first aid course meets all OSHA requirements.

Our CPR and AED program teaches the principles of basic life support for adults or children and infants. It gives you the latest guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiac care, starting with how to assess the scene of an emergency and the victim’s condition. The course details how to perform one-rescuer CPR and rescue breathing, and how to manage choking in a conscious person. It also addresses infection control. The AED portion of the program details key operating characteristics and shows you proper precautions and maintenance techniques. It explains how AED’s work and why they’re a critical part of emergency cardiac care. It also includes guidelines for meeting the state public access defibrillation (PAD) laws, and outlines the need for medical direction.

This course covers breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, infants and children as well as presenting methods used to prevent disease transmission. Participants will be able to identify and care for bleeding, sudden illnesses and injuries. This course also includes an introduction to AED’s.

If there is any chance you might come in contact with blood, you’re at risk for contracting Hepatitis B or C, or HIV. The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard provides guidelines for reducing that risk. And the National Safety Council’s Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogens programs show you how to comply. Our program meets OSHA requirements for Bloodborne Pathogens training. It explains how disease is transmitted, and how to control exposure through a four-way approach: work practice controls, engineering controls, universal precautions, and personal protective clothing and equipment. It also offers information on tuberculosis. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires employers to safeguard employees who face potential occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). Employees such as first responders, dentist and dental hygienists, lab workers, police, EMT’s and paramedics face a significant health risk as a result of occupational exposure to blood and OPIM because they may contain bloodborne pathogens.

In the face of an emergency could you provide safe dental treatment with the possibility of the municipal water source being contaminated? The new CDC Recommendations describe a “Step by Step” plan designed to protect your patients against just such an emergency. Learn the numerous ways you can prepare. How do you respond when your patient states, “I think I am having a heart attack”? Management of this and numerous other medical emergencies will be described with a practical handout as a resource. “I just had a needle stick on an HIV+ patient”. These are the words that we all fear. How rapidly and efficiently is this emergency handled in your office? When optimum treatment should be rendered within hours, preparedness is critical. The new CDC Guidelines describe how to handle Post-Exposure protocols for HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Tuberculosis.

• Identify the current CDC Guidelines for managing occupational exposures to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.

• Summarize the CDC Guidelines for the delivery of patient care during Boil- Water Advisories .

The program provides a comprehensive, inhouse, evaluation of your current OSHA/Infection control program, consisting of one or two parts. A 4-hour program in total, or a 2-hour program, based upon your individual needs. Part 1: Observation of patient care provides information relating to: personal protective equipment, hand washing protocols, barrier protection, surface disinfection, management of water lines, instrument management and sterilization, disposal of biohazardous waste, and other infection control topics. (1 hour) Review of the Exposure Control Plan will update: bloodborne pathogen training, chemicals in the workplace, Hepatitis B vaccination, exposure determination, and post exposure protocols. Employees’ medical records, another area of required record keeping, will also be reviewed. The evaluation and observation will be followed by a post-inspection consultation to discuss findings. (1 hour) Part 2: The didactic section of the program will provide 2 hours of Infection control, which is required biannually in Maryland for dental license renewal. Topics presented will include the “2003 CDC Guidelines for Infection control in the Dental Health Care Setting”. The program provides many practical tips relating to purchasing products, laboratory organization, sterilizer monitoring, biohazard waste records and numerous other topics.

• Successfully achieve compliance with the regulations for training, documentation & posting.

• Acquire the necessary books, posters and documents to satisfy the: General Duty Clause, Bloodborne Pathogen Standard & Hazard Communication Standard.

• Achieve compliance with current CDC recommendations for infection control in dentistry.
