Key Provisions of the Beryllium Standards for General Industry, Construction, and Shipyards. Set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for beryllium of 0.2 µg/m 3, averaged over 8-hours.; Set a short-term exposure limit for beryllium of 2.0 µg/m 3, over a 15-minute sampling period.; Require employers to: use engineering and work …

In addition to the operations described above, the final rule covers operations involving trace amounts of beryllium (< 0.1% by weight) where workers may nevertheless be exposed to beryllium above the action level. Workers at fossil fuel-fired power plants may encounter beryllium in certain plant processes.

In the Beryllium standard for general industry, Appendix A, Table A.1, provides a list of operations that, where performed under the circumstances described in the column heading above the particular operations, trigger the requirement for a beryllium work area. Employers can use the information in Table A.1 of Appendix A when developing the ...

The DOE Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry (BAWR) is a collection of health and exposure information of individuals potentially at risk for chronic beryllium disease (CBD) due to their work at DOE-owned or leased facilities. The BAWR is a risk management tool for sites to use in managing their CBD prevention programs and other …

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry is a collection of health and exposure information of individuals potentially at risk for chronic beryllium disease (CBD) due to their work at DOE-owned or leased facilities. Data reported to the Registry are analyzed and summarized for use in managing CBD …

1910.1024 (j) (1) (i) The employer must maintain all surfaces in beryllium work areas and regulated areas as free as practicable of beryllium and in accordance with the written exposure control plan required under paragraph (f) (1) and the cleaning methods required under paragraph (j) (2) of this standard; and.

Limit the number of workers who may be exposed to beryllium. Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums to clean equipment and the floor. Never use compressed air to clean. Workers should remove contaminated clothing in change rooms only. Workplaces need to conveniently locate washrooms, toilets, showers, and locker …

The most common use is in beryllium-copper alloy because of its electrical and thermal conductivity, high strength and hardness, good corrosion and fatigue resistance, and nonmagnetic properties. ... Workers who inhale airborne beryllium in the workplace can develop a lung condition called chronic beryllium disease or CBD. Occupational …

1. You must establish and maintain a beryllium work area wherever the definition for a "beryllium work area" set forth in paragraph (b) is met. 2. You must identify each beryllium work area through signs or any other methods that adequately establish and inform each employee of the boundaries of each beryllium work area.

• Characterization of worker exposure should only be performed by trained personnel. Respiratory Protection • Whenever possible, appropriate work practices, use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls are the preferred methods for controlling exposure to airborne particles. When these methods are ineffective or are being

Worker Education and Training Programs Worker education and training programs should be in place and should in- clude education of all new and current workers with potential for beryllium ex- posure as to health risks of beryllium, appropriate exposure reduction, and use of skin and respiratory protective equipment.

The Be Responsible program addresses key components necessary to achieve a high degree of safety for workers in the primary beryllium industry through downstream users of beryllium-containing materials. top of page. Home. Our Program. Key Elements; Potential Health Effects from Exposure;

Timothy P. Hanusa. Beryllium, chemical element that is the lightest member of the alkaline-earth metals of Group 2 of the periodic table. It is used in metallurgy as a hardening agent and in many outer space and nuclear applications. It is a steel-gray metal that is quite brittle at room temperature.

Stiffness or rigidity. about 6 times stiffer than steel. can withstand great force before bending. High melting point.

Safety Practices for Working with Beryllium Products. SF201 - Version 2, March, 2011. Beryllium metal, in solid form and as contained in finished products, presents no special …

The medical surveillance requirements within the beryllium standards include the following provisions: Employers must offer medical surveillance to a worker within 30 days of meeting the criteria set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i), and then at least every two years thereafter for those who continue to meet the criteria in paragraph (k)(2)(ii).

Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry Data Collection and Management Guidance, DOE-STD-1187-2019 is a technical standard that provides acceptable methods for compliance with the requirements of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 850.39 (10 CFR 850.39) "Recordkeeping and Use of Information." It should be used by responsible employers ...

Administrative and work-practice controls include limiting the amount of time a worker performs work involving potential exposure to beryllium and proper cleaning and housekeeping methods, including the use of HEPA vacuuming and wet mopping instead of dry sweeping. PPE includes wearing the proper respiratory protection and protective …
