Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program
The Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is proposing regulations to establish a chronic beryllium disease prevention program (CBDPP) to reduce the number of workers currently exposed to beryllium in the course of their employment with DOE or its contractors, minimize the levels of and potential for exposure to beryllium, and establish medical surveillance requirements to ensure early detection and treatment of disease. The proposed rule would be applicable to DOE Federal and contractor employees and subcontractors during the performance of beryllium work at DOE facilities. This action would codify the interim program requirements currently prescribed in DOE directives and protect the health and safety of workers.
