Engineering proper design and maintenance of facilities room design effective biological waste containment proper disinfection of instruments decontamination of environment surfaces Immunization

effective biological waste containment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective clothing Gloves Eye protection Respiratory protection equipment to minimize the infection = rubber dam, high-speed evacuation Patient’s protection = bib and protective eyewear

Chemical Hazard

Types of chemical Disinfectant Methyl Metacrylate Measures

Disinfectant Use for cleaning and disinfection. quaternary ammonium salts iodophors phenolic compounds hydrogen peroxide. Side Effects Eye, skin, and respiratory irritants Toxic effects
