Overview
Health and safety premises requirements for dental practices are fundamental to creating a safe environment for staff, patients, and visitors. Compliance involves managing risks within the building and ensuring that all systems and installations meet legal standards. This includes identifying and controlling structural risks such as asbestos, maintaining electrical and gas safety, and providing adequate ventilation to support infection control and comfort.
Preventive maintenance and regular checks on equipment are essential, supported by clear and accurate records. You must also address risks such as Legionella in water systems and ensure that the working environment meets health and safety regulations. By implementing robust risk management processes, you can protect your team and patients while demonstrating compliance during inspections.
