beryllium training ongoing

Environmental Consulting Training

Dangers arise when beryllium-containing materials are processed in a way that releases airborne beryllium dust, fume, mist, or other forms. Beryllium is an essential component of nuclear weapons. To date, the department has paid more than $500 million in compensation to nearly 2,500 former or current nuclear weapons workers who developed chronic beryllium disease after being exposed to beryllium.

DOL Proposes to Delay Fiduciary and Beryllium Rules

In response to recent presidential directives, the U.S. Department of Labor is taking steps to delay the applicability and effective dates of two rules. First, the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has proposed to extend by 60 days the applicability date of the rule defining who is a "fiduciary" under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

Beryllium exposure occurs when, in the process of producing these items, beryllium is ground, sanded or cut, producing a fine dust or fume that can be inhaled. There is some evidence that machinists are at particularly high risk, perhaps because they are exposed to smaller particles that can reach the deepest recesses of the lung. [16] Get price
