MULTI-CRITERIA ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY MEASURES IN DENTAL PROSTHETICS LABORATORIES

Technicians in dental prosthetics laboratories are exposed to environmental dust and various occupational health hazards, and therefore appropriate protection is necessary. This paper deals with assessment of safety mesures in dental prosthetics laboratories and aim of this work was to assess ten dental laboratories in Novi Sad using the multi-criteria analysis as a assessment tool. Multi-criteria analysis revealed the dental prosthetics laboratories with improper safety measures.
