Safety Meets Security: Annual OSHA & HIPAA Training for Dental Teams

Protect your team, safeguard patient information, and keep your practice on track with essential compliance requirements! This two-hour webinar brings together annual OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens training and HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification requirements in one convenient session designed for the entire dental team. 

Participants will review key workplace safety topics, including exposure prevention, sharps safety, personal protective equipment, hepatitis B vaccination, and post-exposure procedures. The HIPAA portion focuses on protecting patient information, understanding permitted uses and disclosures, recognizing common security risks, and appropriately reporting potential privacy or security incidents. 

Through real-world examples and practical guidance, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to recognize risks, follow office policies, and respond appropriately when issues arise—all while helping maintain a safer, more secure dental practice. Stay sharp, stay compliant, and stay ahead with the latest guidance on two essential topics every dental team needs to know—HIPAA and OSHA!
