Summary

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is proposing to amend its current worker safety and health program regulation. The proposed amendment would make corrections to the worker safety and health program regulation requirements related to beryllium and beryllium compounds for purposes of accuracy and consistency with DOE's Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program regulation, and to clarify that DOE did not intend to adopt the 2016 American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit value for beryllium and beryllium compounds.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
