Abstract:
The standard requires employers to monitor employee exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds, to establish and implement a written control plan, to conduct medical surveillance, to provide personal protective equipment, to train workers about the hazards faced working in and around beryllium, and to establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds. These records are used by employers, workers, physicians, and the Government to ensure that workers are not harmed by exposure to beryllium.

Short Statement:
OSHA is requesting a program change decrease from 108,091 hours to 82,822 hours, a difference of 25,269 hours in the burden. This is a revision to the currently approved Beryllium Information Collection for the general industry, the construction industry, and the maritime industry. This decrease is the result of removing those collection of information requirements contained in the construction and shipyard sectors from this ICR. This revision will remove the duplication of the collections for construction and shipyard sectors already contained in OMB control numbers 1218-0275 and 1218-0272. The capital cost estimated for general industry is $18,741,540. The capital cost estimate is annualized over three years.
