The reality is that all workplaces \u2013 and dental practices are no exception \u2013 are only ever likely to be one or two steps away from a problem of some type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what to do when something goes wrong can help to avoid undesirable consequences. One-off incidents, such as a power cut, can cause costly and disruptive downtime. Multiple or repeated smaller-scale occurrences, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redalyc.org\/journal\/3072\/307247622014\/html\/\">low-level exposure to hazardous substances, can have an accumulated impact on team members\u2019 wellbeing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-7.jpg\" alt=\"Dentist carrying out risk assessment in her dental practice\" class=\"wp-image-2807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-7.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-7-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-7-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Identify potential issues in your practice before they occur with a thorough risk assessment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation is key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk assessments are a crucial tool in identifying potential problems<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/simple-health-safety\/risk\/index.htm\">.<\/a> Reviewing them regularly is essential in order to cater to changes in staff, activities, or equipment. Training for team members, whether health and safety-related or role-specific, contributes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gdc-uk.org\/standards-guidance\/supporting-the-dental-team\/developing-the-dental-team\">collective skills needed for the safe and efficient running of the practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/workplace-fire-safety-your-responsibilities\">Compliance must be up to date, such as safety certification of medical kits, fire extinguishers<\/a>, gas and electricity installation, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cqc.org.uk\/guidance-providers\/regulations-enforcement\/regulations-service-providers-managers-related#reg15\">Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) risk assessments.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A rapid resolution in your dental practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When problems do arise, establish key facts as soon as possible. What has happened? Is anyone in danger? Is anything damaged? Has first-response been activated? A problem must be recorded, verified, and reported in line with your practice protocol once managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problem management: best practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the dental profession, the owner of the dental practice is accountable for health and safety compliance. Team members must play their part, though, in keeping the dental practice as safe as possible for each other and for patients. Transparency in processes minimises possible pitfalls in the working environment. Lines of authority should be known by everyone on the team: who to contact, how, and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-8.jpg\" alt=\"Mercury spillage kit for your dental practice spillages\" class=\"wp-image-2809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-8.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-8-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.initial.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Image-Shortened-900x450-8-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One such issue your practice could come across is a mercury spill &#8211; make sure you are prepared<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review and reflect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a problem has been resolved, review the incident.
