Have you ever wondered to yourself about your safety at our Rohnert Park, CA practice? Perhaps there have been moments during which you’ve asked something like, “Is it safe?” when we talk about administering anesthesia and your mind wanders from there, wondering about your general experience at our oral and maxillofacial oral surgery office. Do we just practice caution by “being careful” … or do we take specific and mindful measures to ensure you’re your safest at all times? We are happy to report that it is the latter! We would also like to talk more about a recent Annual OSHA CE course our team completed as a better example of the programs in place that mean you can show up and truly relax without a care in the world!
About Hazard Communication
As you know, from the nitrous oxide we provide for a more relaxing experience to other products and chemicals we have at our oral surgery practice, some items come with potential hazards. The goal of completing Hazard Communication is to ensure there is clear communication between the supplier of any and all potentially hazardous chemicals we have at our practice and ourselves. Then, of course, that there is clear communication amongst our team. So, how does this happen, you ask? Well, consider the following:
- We receive safety information from manufacturers
- We work as a team to draft and maintain a list of the chemicals in our practice, potential hazards (such as toxicity, whether something is under pressure, etc.)
- We label each and every container
- We maintain and update sheets with detailed information on the products that come in and out of our office
- We store items properly
- We create a program of safety and protective measures
About Illness And Injury Safety And Prevention
Now, let’s talk about who is in our oral surgery practice every day and what it means as far as everyone’s safety is concerned. Remember that our team is present, you may be present, and other patients are present. Through Illness and Injury Safety and Prevention, we focus primarily on implementing steps to ensure everyone who passes through our doors is safe! Again, we work as a team to create a program for our practice that focuses on protecting each individual from any type of danger (and all team members are thoroughly trained). Highlights include:
- Preventing slipping and falling
- Prepping first aid
- Drafting a plan for emergencies
- Creating an ergonomically sound workspace
- Optimizing safety precautions
