Dermal contact with beryllium
Dermal contact with beryllium means skin exposure to:
(1) Soluble beryllium compounds containing beryllium in concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight;
(2) Solutions containing beryllium in concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight; or
(3) Visible dust, fumes, or mists containing beryllium in concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight. The handling of beryllium materials in non-particulate solid form that are free from visible dust containing beryllium in concentrations greater than or equal to 0.1 percent by weight is not considered dermal contact under the standard.
