As a team, place yourselves in the position of managers in a company that assesses beryllium. What standard for beryllium exposure would you recommend? Would you defer to OSHA standards, knowing that some of its officers have developed beryllium sensitivity? Or, would you recommend a lower standard? How could this new standard be determined?

As a team, present your recommendations regarding a standard in managing the concerns of the workers. With the guidance of the instructor, the class selects and compiles the best recommendations from the teams.
