    Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

    About a hundred years ago when I was a young soldier in the New Zealand Defence Force a Clint Eastwood movie (Heartbreak ridge) had this catch-phrase.

    Incidents, Accidents or Near-misses A recent incident at a dental practice where an employee received an electric shock caused when a bottle of saline solution had been placed on it’s side next to a curing light charging unit, and was leaking due to a faulty seal.

    Missile Danger | brain damage or death, your choice.

    Safety shout-out to all the tradies out there, make sure all tools and equipment are secured, no exceptions.

" This incident reminded me of that and the question then becomes... What happens to your head when it's hit with a drill at 50km an hour? Remember as a tradie this is your work

    Hearing Protectors - how can I protect my hearing at work?

    The surest methods of preventing noise-induce hearing loss is to eliminate, or to reduce noise at the source. However, in certain situations, these measures are not possible. In such workplaces, workers may need to wear hearing protectors to reduce the amount of noise reaching the ears. People should wear hearing protection if the noise or sound level at the workplace exceeds 85 decibels, reducing the noise exposure level and the risk of hearing loss. If hearing protection is

    Healthy body, healthy career

    DENTAL|| HEALTH +SAFETY & WELLBEING. One of the most important components of being a great clinician is You. After 30yrs of working as a dental hygienist, I have seen and felt the effects this career can have on the body. There is plenty of literature out there that will confirm the high stats for musculoskeletal disorders, repetitive stress injuries, pain and discomfort within the dental profession. As a health and safety advisor it is my job now to help eliminate or minimiz
