Privacy & Security Notice
 

The Hanford Beryllium Awareness Group would like to take this chance to welcome you. Beryllium on the Hanford site is becoming a growing health and safety concern. In an joint effort between DOE, all the contractors and the Beryllium Awareness Group we are trying to insure everyone understands the issues concerning exposure to beryllium.

This web site is set up to provide current employees with information about Beryllium as it pertains to the Hanford Site. One purpose of this web site is to assist each individual in making an informed decision in regards to the need for medical testing. Another use for this site is to assist in complying with 10 CFR Part 850 by providing an on-line beryllium inventory for the Hanford Site, also to help with the production of Automated Job Hazard Analysis (AJHA)'s as they relate to beryllium.

The Hanford site currently consists of Bechtel Hanford, Inc. (BHI), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Fluor Hanford, Inc. (FH), CH2M Hill Hanford Group (CHG), AdvanceMed Hanford (AMH) and Department of Energy-Richland Operations (RL), Department of Energy-Office of River Protection (ORP).

The following steps may be helpful for a Hanford employee to enter the AMH Medical Beryllium Program:

1. Determine if you have worked in any of the Listed Buildings where Beryllium was stored or processed.

2. Print out a copy of the Hanford Site Beryllium Employee Questionnaire{short description of image} then complete and return the questionnaire to AdvanceMed Beryllium, G3-70. AdvanceMed will provide you with further information to assist you in making an informed decision on medical testing.
