Health and safety at work in orthodontic practice--Part II

On April 1st, 1992 practice inspections came into force and the remit of the inspector takes into consideration not only whether the practice is a safe place in which patients may be treated, but also whether the environment is safe for staff to work in. Gone are the days therefore when one could ignore health and safety at work, for to do so could result in a new practice not being added to a FHSA list or at the worst an existing practice made to close down!
