COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
Upon returning our work force to BCI we have no changes to current PPE and disinfection protocol but COVID-19 dictates additions, as outlined below:
During the next few weeks – as dentists return to work and patients return to the dental offices and as volume of work gradually increases – we plan to complete annual trainings and cross-training in small groups. In addition, we are working with each technician to hone or add to their existing skill sets. This will allow our technicians to grow and enable us to better serve our customers in the future.
The protocols we have put in place are a work in progress, as all of you know the information changes daily. We hope that what we have implemented and have in progress will allow all of us to return to doing business in dentistry with confidence and will minimize stress and anxiety.
For Our Customers: As BCI Dental Lab returns to the new normal of doing our jobs with COVID-19 please follow the below protocol:

- Employees enter and exit thru one door only. Each morning every employee is screened and temperature taken. Employees are required to wear masks at all times and practice physical distancing. Antimicrobial/antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, disinfectant and hand wash/rub posters are located at each sink plus hand sanitizer and disinfectant are located throughout the lab. All common areas (i.e. staff room and bathroom) are disinfected after each use as are common work areas. All work areas are disinfected at the end of each day, plus the entire facility is disinfected nightly with a sprayer containing HOCL solution.
- In addition, all visitors to BCI will enter and exit thru the front door only. We have sent emails to our customers and business associates outlining changes in protocol that relate to them.
- We are currently working on protocol for pickup and delivery, disinfection of prosthetics and seeing patients at BCI.

For Our Customers: As BCI Dental Lab returns to the new normal of doing our jobs with COVID-19 please follow the below protocol:
- All disinfected impressions and bites must be in a sealed baggie.
- The RX must NOT be in the baggie. Please place the RX inside or adhere to the exterior of the pickup bag/box.
- All parts and tools must be returned disinfected.
- Please be aware as both staffing for laboratory and delivery will be phased in as work load dictates. So time to complete cases maybe a bit longer than the published work schedule.
- Same Day and Next Day repairs will be limited by number and service area.
- Please make an appointment if you need to come to the lab for any reason.
- Please call 707-781-0974 when you arrive as we have protocols in place for visitors (i.e. Wear a mask, screening questions and temperature taken).
