Infection Control · single question

A dental assistant notices that infection control/prevention protocols are not being followed in her office and feels her own safety is at risk. To which regulatory body should she report this concern?

  1. OSHA
  2. The CDC
  3. The ADA
  4. The state board of dentistry only
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. OSHA

OSHA is the regulatory/enforcement agency specifically responsible for workplace safety, including employee exposure risks and compliance with infection control standards affecting worker safety — employees report workplace safety violations to OSHA. The CDC issues public health guidance and recommendations but is not the enforcement body for individual workplace safety complaints.
