Safety Doesn’t Happen By Accident

As of August 1, 2016, OSHA fines for dental offices increased from $7,000 to $12,471 per violation and repeated violation fines increased from $70,000 to $124,709 per violation.* OSHA is serious about their regulations - and it only takes one phone call from an unhappy employee or patient to put your business at risk.
