Practice Health and Safety
This in-depth course covers Health and Safety, with all the UK legal requirements. .
Health and Safety in the workplace is a paramount concern, particularly in clinical settings like dental practices. This encompasses a broad range of practices and regulations designed to protect employees and patients from potential hazards.
Topics such as managing workplace facilities, responding to accidents and ill health, and maintaining required documentation like the Health & Safety law poster and insurance are integral. Additionally, the course addresses specific risks associated with dental practice, including electrical and fire safety, manual handling, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and preventing conditions like contact dermatitis.
A comprehensive approach to Health and Safety not only meets legal standards but also fosters a safe, efficient, and professional working environment, essential for any dental practice preparing for a CQC visit.
