Which rules govern infection control in a California dental office?

Use the Board minimum standards as the dental-specific baseline. Layer Cal/OSHA bloodborne-pathogens duties on top when the facts involve exposure control, training, or workplace systems. Waste handling and exposure controls are compliance-system questions, not just chairside technique questions.
