The LLNL Medical Director (or designee) may recommend to the individual, in a written medical opinion based on one or more positive Be-LPT results, CBD diagnosis, an examining physician's recommendation, or any other signs or symptoms that the Medical Director deems medically sufficient, that he or she be temporarily removed from beryllium exposure. When such a determination is made, the employee is offered temporary reassignment (pending a final medical determination) to a non-beryllium worker position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. The Medical Director shall provide the worker a copy of 10 CFR 850, its preamble, and other appropriate information regarding beryllium exposure in discussing the benefits of removal.
