COVID-19 UPDATE

At Protea Dental Lab, we take patient safety and infection control seriously. That’s why we’ve implemented procedures that meet the highest standards of sanitization and safety.

This is especially important now that dentists are permitted once again to provide in-person care. We’re optimistic that these re-openings point in a hopeful direction for everyone, yet we proceed with great care and caution.

Workplace prevention

Facilitating proper hand hygiene by providing access to handwashing and alcohol-based hand sanitizer at multiple prominent locations throughout the workplace. Hand hygiene to be performed as per Public Health Ontario Guidelines and posted in all applicable places.
Implementing physical distancing of at least 2 meters between employees.

In addition to routine cleaning of the work environment (which includes cleaning and disinfection of surfaces), any high touch surfaces that are visibly soiled will be cleaned and disinfected immediately. Common touched surfaces (doorknobs, light switches, handrails, etc.) to be cleaned and disinfected twice a day.
Clear and visible signage placed at all entrances and within the workplace to remind employees and visitors to the premises about the signs and symptoms of COVID-19, and what to do if they feel unwell, and how to protect themselves.
