The ADA News (5/26, Solana) reports that the ADA Advisory Task Force on Dental Practice Recovery has released a hazard assessment guide and checklist as part of an effort to help reduce “the risk of COVID-19 spread to dental team employees and their patients.” The assessment involves “several action items dentists should consider,” including “collecting existing information about COVID-19 hazards from credible sources; inspecting the workplace for potential safety hazards; identifying health hazards such as the biologic threat of infection from COVID-19 and potential transmission; and conducting incident investigations.” In addition, the supplementary checklist aims to help dentists in “making a rough determination of the hazard level presented to staff during one snapshot in time.” The article reports that the hazard assessment guide and checklist complement the ADA’s Return to Work Interim Guidance Toolkit, said Dr. Kirk Norbo, task force co-chair.
