Under 10 CFR 850, DOE has established a registry of beryllium-associated workers and requires LLNL to transmit the following information semiannually for each beryllium-associated worker (including those who are subcontract workers) in the registry:

* A unique identifier

* Year of birth

* Gender

* Site identifier

* Job history

* Medical screening test results

* Exposure measurements

* Results of referral for specialized medical evaluations

Each record in the registry is identified by a unique identifier, which serves to link the record to a specific individual while maintaining confidentiality. The pairing of unique identifiers with specific workers is known only to the LLNL Medical Director and individuals designated by him or her as having a need to know such information.

In addition, see Appendix B for LLNL's medical protection requirements for current and prospective beryllium workers.

3.6 Personal Protective Equipment

The hazard assessment (see Section 3.5.3) shall determine and document the necessary PPE. The use of personal protective equipment protection is required when worker exposure equals or exceeds, or potentially equals or exceeds, the AL.

PPE shall be provided to any beryllium-associated worker, regardless of the level of exposure, whenever he or she requests it. Beryllium-contaminated PPE shall be handled in accordance with Document 11.1. Containers of contaminated PPE shall be labeled in accordance with Section 3.5.8 (Figure 3).
