===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-DUSTS & FUMES IRRITATE TO THE
EYES, NOSE, & THROAT. INHALATION MAY INCLUDING COUGH, METALLIC
TASTE IN THE MOUTH, FEVER, FATIGUE, NAUSEA, BERYLLIOSIS, A SERIOUS
CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE, COUGH, CHEST PAIN, SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
WEIGHT LOSS, WEAKNESS, & FATIGUE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:BERYLLIUM IS A POTENTIAL CANCER HAZARD
BASED ON ANIMAL TESTS.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE-DUSTS/FUMES IRRITATE TO THE
EYES/NOSE/THROAT. INHALATION MAY INCLUDE COUGH/METALLIC TASTE IN
THE MOUTH/FEVER/FATIGUE/NAUSEA/BERYLLIOSIS/A SERIOUS CHRONIC LUNG
DISEASE/COUGH/CHEST PAIN/SHORTNESS OF BREATH/WEIGHT
LOSS/WEAKNESS/FATIGUE.HANDLING OF SOLID SHARES PRESENTS NO
DERMATITIS/SKIN ABSORPTION PROBLEM.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SKIN ABSORPTION PROBLEM.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE/CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CAST BERYLLIUM ALLOYS MUST HAVE THE
SCALE, CONTAINING BERYLLIUM OXIDE, CLEANED FROM THE SURFACE BEFORE
MACHINING TO PREVENT POTENTIAL EXPOSURE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:BERYLLIUM CONTAINING SCRAP IS NORMALLY
RECYCLED. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL INHALATION HAZARD INHERENT IN
THE HANDLING OF FINE, DUST-LIKE MATERIAL (BAGHOUSE FINES) WE
RECOMMEND SEAL IN 2 BAGS/PUT IN CON TAINER, LABEL AS "BERYLLIUM
CONTAINING MATERIAL".
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:WELDING/CASTING/GRINDING/DRY
SANDING/ABRADING THE SURFACE CAN GENERATE FINELY DIVIDED PARTICLES;
EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE BERRYLLIUM MAY BE >TLV/PEL.
Other Precautions:GRINDING/SANDING OPERATIONS UNDER A LIQUID COOLANT
DON'T POSE AN EXPOSURE POTENTIAL; UNLESS BY RECYCLING THE LIQUID
COOLANTS, THE CONC. OF FINELY DIVIDED BERYLLIUM ALLOY REACHES A
POINT WHERE PARTICUL ATE BECOMES AIRBORNE DURING IT USE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:APPROVED HIGH EFFICIENCY CARTRIDGE OR SUPPLIED
AIR RESPIRATOR IS REQUIRED IF BERYLLIUM IN AIR CONCENTRATIONS
EXCEEDS OSHA STANDARD.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AT THE POINT OF GENERATION IS THE
PREFERRED METHOD OF CONTROL.
Other Protective Equipment:NO PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT OR CLOTHING IS
REQUIRED WHEN HANDLING SOLID FORMS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WHERE EXPOSURE DATA INDICATES, MEDICAL
SURVEILLANCE SHOULD BE CONDUCTED.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WHEN GRINDING/SNADING USING A LIQUID COOLANT, PARTICULATE
CONCENTRATIONS MAY BE CONTROLLED WITH AN IN-LINE COOLANT
CENTRIFUGE.

==================== Disposal Considerations ====================
Waste Disposal Methods:IN CASES WHERE THIS ISN'T JUSTIFIED, SOLID
MATERIAL MAY BE LANDFILLED. SHIPPED TO EITHER A RECYCLING FACILITY
OR AN APPROVED HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL SITE. IF >1 LB OF METAL
DUST/POWDER IS RELEASED TO ENVIRONMENT, REPORT SPILL TO NRC
(800)424-8802.
