COVID-19
OSHA published the emergency temporary standard as an interim final rule in the Federal Register on June 21. The interim final rule aims to protect workers facing the greatest risk of exposure, including those working in hospital settings and in places that treat patients suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19. While most dental professionals are exempt from the rule, affected employers must comply with most provisions by July 6. The remainder of the provisions must be followed by July 21, according to the publication
Guidelines:
The ETS applies to portions of non hospital workplaces in healthcare settings. To comply it is necessary that all employees and non-employees are screened for Covid-19 prior to entering the building and temperature checks are to be administered. People who are suspected or confirmed Covid-19 are not permitted to enter the building. Links will be emailed and sent via text for all patients prior to their appointments.
•To address asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, implemented source control (require face masks or cloth face coverings) for everyone entering the dental setting (dental healthcare personnel [DHCP][ 1 ],patients and guests), regardless of whether they have COVID-19 symptoms.
•Actively screen DHCP on the spot for fever and symptoms before every shift.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these new parameters together.
