OSHA Compliance: The Annual Requirement That’s Easy to Forget—Until It’s Not

A quick reminder before the holiday madness begins!

Let’s be honest—OSHA training isn’t the most glamorous part of dentistry. But when it’s overlooked, it can quickly become one of the most important. A small needlestick incident, a mislabeled chemical, or even a surprise inspection is all it takes to remind a dental team why annual OSHA compliance training is more than a box to check—it’s the backbone of a safe and sound legal practice.

Every dental professional, from the front desk to the operatory, plays a role in maintaining compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, Hazard Communication Standard, HIPAA overview and infection control guidelines. Annual reviews ensure that your team knows how to handle accidental exposures, manage sterilization, use PPE correctly, and maintain proper documentation. It’s not just about meeting a regulation—it’s about protecting the people who make dentistry possible.

The good news? OSHA training doesn’t have to overwhelm your office schedule. At MyDentalCE.com, we’ve designed two flexible options to make compliance accessible for every team: the new OSHA Annual Training Video, a 48-minute all-video course perfect for busy professionals, and the original OSHA Annual Training in PDF format, ideal for offices that prefer to read, review, and discuss together. Both meet OSHA’s annual training requirements and include continuing education credit.

Whichever format fits your workflow, the goal remains the same—to keep dental teams informed, confident, and ready to prevent workplace incidents before they happen. A strong safety culture doesn’t just protect compliance; it strengthens trust and professionalism across the entire practice.

Now is the perfect time to make sure your OSHA training is current. Protect your team, safeguard your practice, and start the year fully compliant with MyDentalCE’s trusted OSHA courses.
