According to OSHA, what are considered personal protective equipment in a dental office?

Protective eyewear, surgical masks, gloves, and gowns or lab coats
Scavenger units and ventilation systems
Clinical contact surfaces and barriers
Disinfectants and sterilizers

The correct answer is: Protective eyewear, surgical masks, gloves, and gowns or lab coats

The correct answer is A. Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to any equipment or clothing worn by an individual to protect them from potential hazards in their workplace. In a dental office setting, PPE would include protective eyewear, surgical masks, gloves, and gowns or lab coats to protect both the dental practitioners and patients from exposure to bodily fluids and other potential hazards. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fall under the category of personal protective equipment and are instead related to dental equipment and infection control measures.
