OSHA Rule On Beryllium Effective September 30, 2020

OSHA is amending its existing construction and shipyard standards for occupational exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds to clarify certain provisions and simplify or improve compliance. These changes are designed to accomplish three goals: to more appropriately tailor the requirements of the construction and shipyards standards to the particular exposures in these industries in light of partial overlap between the beryllium standards' requirements and other OSHA standards; to aid compliance and enforcement across the beryllium standards by avoiding inconsistency, where appropriate, between the shipyards and construction standards and recent revisions to the general industry standard; and to clarify certain requirements with respect to materials containing only trace amounts of beryllium. This final rule does not affect the general industry beryllium standard. https://www.calthacompany.com/uncategorized/new-osha-rule-on-berylium-effective-september-30/ Caltha LLP provides specialized expertise to clients in the evaluation environmental rules, developing EHS compliance procedures, and preparing cost-effective EHS management programs.
