Objective:
The goals of this project were to include summarizing the current uses of Be-containing products in current US shipyard work; Collect and review existing representative occupational exposure data for comparable work with Be-containing products to characterize potential exposures and define effective control measures for work above and below regulatory thresholds; Evaluate abrasive blasting process efficiency for control of potential Be exposure during surface preparation and coatings work; Determine where additional air monitoring is needed for production work other than abrasive blasting to fill in knowledge gaps in shipyard work with potential exposure to Beryllium.
