OSAP launches new Web site Online DENTAL TRIBUNE | April 201014A AD The Organization for Safety & Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) has launched a new Web site at www.osap.org.

The site features charts, checklists, training tools, con- tinuing education programs, news summaries and more. Much of the content is avail- able to the public, but OSAP members are able to access special content and features. A new social networking capability allows OSAP mem- bers to connect with each other, as well as follow the organization on Facebook and Twitter, view photos and vid- eos on Flickr and YouTube, and subscribe to the RSS feed. A Safety Mall offers prod- ucts and services relating to infection control and includes downloadable materials for those with an immediate need. The new site features a fresh look and many new features. Special content is avail- able for speakers, consultants, dental professionals and oth- ers concerned about infection control and safety in dentistry. Visitors can also get infor- mation and register for events, such as the 2010 Infection Prevention Symposium, which will be held June 10–13 at the Hyatt Regency in Tampa, Fla. The OSAP Web site is updat- ed on at least a daily basis, but when pandemics, natu- ral disasters or other break- ing developments that impact infection control occur, the site is updated multiple times a day.
