The TPSM focuses on how best to manage activities that involve potential exposure of
workers to beryllium-containing particulates. The subcommittee seeks to determine best
practices for minimizing the generation and spread of beryllium contamination, to
evaluate and recommend workplace health and standards and guides that consist of
programs for controlling the beryllium health hazard, and specific measures that can be
taken to minimize the incidence of beryllium disease.
