Our Dental Compliance Program

COMPLIMENTARY HEALTH & SAFETY ASSESSMENT

Every course we offer in a dental practice includes the complimentary completion of SAJE Vital Signs’s Health & Safety Assessment. This ten-point checklist will be completed by our instructor on site and provides a cursory overview of some key Health & Safety items required in every dental practice in Ontario. The completed checklist will be left at your office, along with our contact information, should you have questions or wish to order any required compliance products or office-specific documentation.

For dental practice managers that wish to ensure they are maximally compliant with government and dental industry requirements, we suggest you book an appointment to have one of our Dental Compliance Associates complete SAJE’s Comprehensive Dental Compliance Checklist (see below).

Dental Compliance Checklist

With safety blitzes and unannounced inspections by the Ministry of Labour on the rise, it is important for dental offices to take steps to ensure the health and safety of their patients and staff. Practice owners face fines of up to $500,000 and possibly jail time for non-compliance under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, and the Human Rights Code. What is more, a complaint from an unhappy patient or staff member may result in a visit from the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario thus further exposing a dental practice to regulatory sanctions and unwanted publicity.

During the 30 to 60-minute appointment, a compliance specialist will perform a multi-point health and safety assessment of your dental office. They will check for things such as properly stocked first aid kits, appropriate MSDS paperwork, and records of required training. Afterwards, clients will be provided with a report card as well as a personalized plan to ensure that your office is compliant with all applicable provincial and professional regulations.

Dental practice owners can mitigate the above-mentioned liabilities by scheduling an appointment to have us complete our five-page Comprehensive Dental Compliance Checklist.

Cost: $149 + HST*
