C. Consequences of non-compliance

Topic Progress:
  1. Non-compliance with the DBC’s Minimum Standards for Infection Control, OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, and Globally Harmonized System for Hazard Communication, or CAL/OSHA’s Aerosol Transmissible Disease Standard could lead to cross-contamination, infections, and illness to the dental patient and/or the DHCP.
  2. Employees could contaminate their vehicles, or even their homes, if Standard and Universal Precautions are not followed. Employee’s families could potentially suffer illnesses and infections if OSHA regulations are not followed in the DHS.
  3. Dentists could be subject to fines and/or have their offices closed by the Regulating Agencies.
