BWXT Y-12, LLC's (BWXT Y-12) actions were not
consistent with its Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention
Program (Prevention Program). In particular, BWXT Y-12
had not always posted locations of beryllium contamination
that were outside of beryllium operational areas in the three
facilities included in our review. These postings would
have alerted workers to the potential risks of beryllium
exposure. BWXT Y-12 also had not performed or
documented the conduct of hazard assessments to
communicate potential exposure risks.
