Infection Control · single question
Which organisation specifically develops and promotes infection control education, checklists and best-practice resources for the dental setting?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. OSAP
- A. The FDA regulates medical devices, sterilisers and instrument-grade disinfectants.
- B. The EPA registers environmental surface disinfectants.
- C. OSHA is the federal regulator of workplace safety; it enforces rather than educates.
- D. Correct. OSAP — the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention — is the dental-specific non-profit devoted to infection prevention and patient safety. It translates CDC guidance into practical dental checklists, training and toolkits. Note the division of labour worth memorising: CDC RECOMMENDS, OSHA REGULATES worker safety, the FDA clears devices and sterilants, the EPA registers surface disinfectants, and OSAP EDUCATES.
