The tuition for this program is per staff member, each staff member attending must pay the tuition even if the staff member does not need continuing education credits.

The OSHA Hazard Communications Standard was updated to include the Global Harmonization Requirements.  It is important to take your updated class so you will be in compliance with the new procedures.    This program will satisfy the OSHA standard on Occupational Exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens, which is required annually for dentists and staff

All CDA Dental Assistant certificants, whether they hold one or more DANB certifications, must annually earn a minimum of three
(3) CDE credits that meet the following requirements:

• One CDE credit on OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard (for example, certificants may use proof of meeting the federally mandated OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard training), and
• Two CDE credits on infection prevention, control or safety (for example, courses may include any topics listed in DANB’s Infection Control exam blueprint, which includes but are not limited to information in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard).
