FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For additional information, contact: Emily Hammonds, MA Association Manager (404) 789-3161 [email protected] October 8, 2024 (ATLANTA) — The Association for Dental Safety (ADS), formerly known as the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP), is pleased to announce the release of a new resource guide: Return to Work After Prolonged Shutdown or Reduced Operations. The document is a compilation of infection prevention and control resources that will be useful when reopening dental practices after a natural disaster.
“ADS is so proud to release this document,” says ADS Executive Director Michelle Lee, CPC. “Natural disasters can have long-lasting effects on communities, including dental offices. After Hurricane Helene hit, several members wanted to make sure the dental profession had an updated document, with current guidance and resources in one place, to guide them in reopening.”
The document includes:
- An action item checklist
- A boil water advisory plan for dentistry
- Disaster recovery resources
- And more
The document is available now as a free digital download at MyADS.org/return-to-work-after-prolonged-shutdown-or-reduced-operations.
