* Work closely with the Health Services Department to review group exposure and group sensitization data.

* Review all subcontractor contracts for compliance with 10 CFR 850.

* Take swipe samples on equipment to determine the level of surface contamination.

* Inform the authorizing organization and facility management of the need to establish beryllium work areas or regulated beryllium work areas.

4.5 Health Services Department

The Health Services Department shall:

* Offer baseline and periodic medical surveillance examinations for beryllium workers and beryllium-associated workers who are UC employees.

* Recommend temporary or permanent removal from beryllium work (if needed), including medical restrictions, and advise management of medical removal issues.

* Provide counseling for UC employees who are diagnosed as being sensitized to beryllium or having CBD.

* Provide training in the medical issues of beryllium sensitization and disease, the potential consequences of beryllium sensitization, and medical removal.

* Maintain the medical portion of LLNL's and subcontractors' entries in the DOE beryllium registry.

* Assist in development of a formal (i.e., written) exposure reduction and minimization program when exposures equal or exceed the AL.

* Work closely with the Hazards Control Department to analyze group exposure and sensitization data.

* Perform group analyses of beryllium medical surveillance data.

4.6 Environmental Protection Department

The Environmental Protection Department shall:

* Participate in the hazard review to evaluate environmental contamination levels, permit requirements, National Environmental Policy Act declarations, and other environmental issues during the experiment design phase.

* Specify, in conjunction with the ES

* Assist authorizing organizations with the removal and disposal of packaged beryllium or beryllium-contaminated waste.

* Properly manage beryllium-contaminated equipment for disposal.

* Maintain beryllium inventory data.

The Environmental Protection Department is not normally involved in the evaluation of potentially contaminated surplus equipment unless the equipment is to be sold as scrap, recycled, or managed as waste.

4.7 Materials Management Section

The Materials Management Section is responsible for maintaining a database of SRD classified parts and establishing procedures for the control of such parts owned by LLNL. Individuals performing programmatic work are assigned responsibility for the control of beryllium SRD classified parts and must meet the requirements of both the Materials Management classified parts procedures and this document.

4.8 Technical Release Representatives and Other Personnel Who Purchase Beryllium

Refer all requests for beryllium to the Hazards Control Department for review and approval prior to placing an actual order. Controls for purchasing beryllium are given in the Controlled Items List.

4.9 Facility Managers

Facility managers (or designees) shall:

* Be aware of locations where beryllium work is done.

* Provide a consolidated beryllium inventory for all facilities under their responsibility to the Environmental Protection Department.

* Assure that all facility maintenance work involving beryllium work areas and related equipment has been appropriately evaluated to establish proper workplace controls before work begins.

* Maintain copies of inspection records, survey reports, and assessment findings related to beryllium in their facilities.

* Respond to incidents involving beryllium release.

* Assist in limiting access to regulated beryllium work areas, if established.

* Call the area ES

* Ensure that safe working conditions are provided for building occupants.

4.10 Human Resources Department

The Human Resources Department is responsible for assisting program management in finding alternate work assignments for workers who have been recommended for temporary or permanent removal from beryllium work.
