How often are local rules audited?

Local rules are typically audited every 3 years as part of maintaining compliance with regulatory standards and ensuring that protocols remain relevant and effective for the safe practice of radiography in dentistry. This time frame allows for a thorough review of the local rules, as it is important to take into account any changes in legislation, advances in technology, and updates in best practices that may have occurred since the last audit. Regular audits help identify areas for improvement and ensure that all staff members continue to adhere to the established safety regulations, ultimately safeguarding both patients and practitioners during radiographic procedures.
