OSHA Beryllium Standard
History, Practical Concerns & Web-based Guide for Compliance 

SPACE IS LIMITED TO 30 ATTENDEES -- REGISTER EARLY!

Background: In January 2017, OSHA issued new comprehensive health standards addressing exposure to beryllium in all industries. In response to feedback from stakeholders, the agency is considering technical updates to the January 2017 general industry standard, which will clarify and simplify compliance with requirements. OSHA will also begin enforcing on May 11, 2018, the new lower 8-hour permissible exposure limit (PEL) and short-term (15-minute) exposure limit (STEL) for construction and shipyard industries.  In the interim, if an employer fails to meet the new PEL or STEL, OSHA will inform the employer of the exposure levels and offer assistance to assure understanding and compliance.

In this 2-hour presentation, Marc Kolanz will discuss the history, practical concerns and web-based guide for compliance with the revised beryllium standard.

Speaker:
