What infection-control and OSHA rules apply to California dental offices?

California dentistry questions often test both Board minimum standards and the Cal/OSHA bloodborne-pathogens overlay. Training, exposure controls, and waste handling are office-system duties, not just chairside habits. Older prep is especially risky where the current duties table or course-timing rules changed in 2025.
