Beryllium Safety (EA CRAD 32-04, Rev. 1)

The review of beryllium safety assesses the effectiveness of programs and processes for implementation of a comprehensive Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program (CBDPP). The Integrated Safety Management Policy, DOE P 450.4A, establishes the Department’s policy for work to be conducted safely and efficiently and in a manner that ensures protection of workers, the public, and the environment. To achieve this, the implementation of Integrated Safety Management (ISM) requirements is established through DOE Orders, and for contractor organizations through contract clauses. This includes identification of existing and potential workplace hazards and assessment of risk, development and implementation of hazard controls, assurance that work is performed within established hazard controls, and implementation of a formal mechanism and process to gather feedback and implement continual improvement by the site contractor. Additionally, assessments can include an evaluation of the DOE field element’s process to assess the adequacy of procedures and the implementation of the contractor’s CBDPP.
