CHM-7.2



Beryllium is a strong, versatile metal that has a number of commercial uses. Unfortunately beryllium is also highly toxic. While most workers will never encounter beryllium hazards on the job, those workers who must deal with it directly in certain production and manufacturing settings can face substantial risks to their health. This course will introduce workers to the hazards of beryllium and the requirements of OSHA's beryllium standard.
