Modern Practice Solutions Announces      
Training Clarification
        

   Dover, TN      Aug 29, 2007    Recently OSHA clarified the "acceptable time lapse for annual training" in the 01-24-2007 Standard Interpretations, 1910.1030(g)(2)(v).  Whereever OSHA standards require that employee training be conducted "at least annually," (such as Bloodborne Pathogens), OSHA interprets that to mean that employees must be provided with re-training at least once every 12 months (i.e., within a time period not exceeding 365 days).  If the annual training is not provided, the employer should maintain a recording indicating why the training has been delayed and when the training will be provided.  
   

Our goal is to assist dental offices with their compliance programs so they can focus on patient care and in-office systems.  Our programs include training with CEUs, facility inspection, customization of policies, labeling, and implementation of a quality control system.
