A dental OSHA binder holds your written plans, training records and logs so you can show them when an inspector asks. ComplyDay keeps every piece current and prints the whole binder as one PDF.
It also emails the right person a month before anything is due, so the binder stays complete without anyone checking dates.
What's in the binder
| Section | Where it comes from in ComplyDay |
|---|---|
| Exposure control plan, with the yearly review date | Written plans |
| Hazard communication program and chemical list | Written plans |
| Emergency action plan and infection control manual | Written plans |
| Training records and certificates for each person | Staff training |
| Sterilizer cycle, spore test and Bowie-Dick logs | Sterilizer logs |
| Sharps injury log, if you keep OSHA 300 records | Written plans |
| HIPAA policies, risk assessment and business associate list | HIPAA compliance |
Hepatitis B vaccination and post-exposure records are confidential medical records under OSHA's rule, so ComplyDay keeps them apart from the binder.
Dental offices are partially exempt from keeping OSHA 300 injury logs, unless OSHA or the Bureau of Labor Statistics asks in writing. Every office still has to report a work-related death within 8 hours and an in-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye within 24 hours.
Reminders
Choose what to track once. ComplyDay emails the right person a month ahead:
| Reminder | Who gets it | When |
|---|---|---|
| Training due | The staff member and the office manager | 30 days before each person's date |
| New hire training | The new hire | Assigned on day one |
| Weekly spore test | The person you choose | Every week on the day you set |
| Yearly plan review | The office manager | A month before, for example the exposure control plan in March |
| HIPAA risk assessment review | The office manager | A month before the yearly review |
| Failed sterilizer test | Every owner and admin, by urgent email | Right away |
See who is current
The training view shows each person and course with a status: complete, due soon or overdue. A summary at the top shows the share of staff with current training, for example "11 of 12, one course due in March."
When an inspector arrives
- Open ComplyDay and print the binder, or open the printed copy you keep in the office.
- Show the exposure control plan and the date of its last review.
- Show training records for the people the inspector asks about.
- Show your sterilizer and spore test logs for the period asked.
The dental OSHA compliance checklist lists everything an office should have in place, and the dental compliance calendar shows when each task is due.
Price
Reminders and the binder are in every plan: $66 a month paid yearly for up to 5 staff, or $125 a month for up to 15. See the plans.
