The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently published a new rule on Beryllium. The rule does apply to the construction industry, but it will have little effect on mechanical construction employers and their workers. The only potential exposure to beryllium for mechanical construction workers would be work in close proximity to another trade that is performing abrasive blasting with a blasting media containing beryllium. Under these circumstances affected employers would have to reschedule work in the affected area or establish protective measures for the workers, such as ventilation and respiratory protection. The welding consumables used for most mechanical work do not contain beryllium.

If you would like more information on beryllium in construction, the Hilgeman Group is presenting a one hour webcast on the subject on February 2, 2017 starting at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
