Each province is different in the way they handle the requirements and applications for a permanent installation of x-ray equipment.
Ontario
|
In Ontario, all dental offices that use x-ray equipment must have their floor plan approved by the Ministry Of Health X-ray Inspection Service. This application consists of form 1, form 2, form 3 (one for each room with an x-ray machine) and 2 copies of you dental office floor plan. The requirements for x-ray shielding are based on the adjacent occupancy to the room containing the x-ray equipment. It is important to note that compliance with these regulations is the responsibility of the owner on the x-ray equipment. The Ontario Planning & Design Dept. provides this application service for all of the offices it designs and any Henry Schein Ash Arcona customers that may require this service.
