1.SCOPE: ThisstandardprovidesacceptablemethodsforcompliancewiththerequirementsofTitle10 Codeof FederalRegulations,Part850.39 (10CFR850.39)“RecordkeepingandUseofInformation.”It shouldbeusedbyresponsibleemployerssubjecttotherequirementsof10 CFR 850 “ChronicBerylliumDiseasePreventionProgram”to guidetheirsubmissionof informationtotheDepartmentofEnergy(DOE) Beryllium-AssociatedWorkerRegistry.Useofthisstandardpromotesconsistentreportingandefficientanalysisanddisseminationof informationtothosewho needtoknow.

2.BACKGROUND: TheDOEBeryllium-AssociatedWorkerRegistryis a complex-wideinternalprogramtohelpDOEconductandimproveitschronicberylliumdiseasepreventionprograms.Paragraph10 CFR 850.39 specifiesberylliumrecordkeepingandreportingrequirementsforbothDOEfederalandcontractoremployees.TheRegistrycontainsdataon DOEcontractorandfederalworkers, thejobstheyperformed,theirberylliumexposuremonitoringresults,resultsfromscreeningtestsfor chronicberylliumdisease,andtheresultsfromsubsequentmedicaldiagnosticprocedures.TheOfficeof DomesticandInternational Health Studies(AU-

13) sponsors thedevelopment and maintenanceofthistechnicalstandard.TheRegistryis maintainedbythe BerylliumRegistryDataCenterattheOakRidgeInstitutefor ScienceandEducation(ORISE),OakRidge,Tennessee.

TheRegistryincludesseveralcomponentscalleddata sets.Thesedatasets include:aroster,orlisting,of all currentworkerswhomaybepotentiallyexposedtoormayhavebeenpreviouslyexposedtoberyllium;medicalinformationrelatedtotesting for and diagnosisofberyllium-relateddisease;work historyof berylliumjobswhileemployedat a DOEsite;andexposuredata(industrialhygienesamplingdata)withcalculated8-hour time-weightedaverage(TWA)forthatexposure.

2.1.DataSources:Sources of informationfor thesedataincludehumanresourceorganizations;medical,safety,andindustrialhygieneorganizations;andotherorganizationssuch asoperations,maintenance,engineering,andpayroll.Additionalsources of informationmayincludeWorkers'Compensationfiles,theOSHA Form300log,andheadquartersmanageddatabasessuch as theComputerizedAccidentand IllnessReportingSystem(CAIRS), theOccurrenceReportingandProcessingSystem(ORPS),andthe OccurrenceReportingBinnedInformationTrendingTool(ORBITT).

2.2.SiteRegistryData Coordinator: A Registrydatacoordinatormustbeidentifiedateach DOE sitetoserveasthepointof contactbetweenthesiteandtheBerylliumRegistryDataCenteratOakRidge.TheRegistrydatacoordinatorshouldberesponsiblefor coordinatingactivitiesatthesiterelatedtodatacollection,submittingdatatotheDataCenterin a timelymanner,receivinginquiriesfromtheDataCenter,contactingappropriatesitepersonneltoresolvedatamanagementandcollectionissues, andcorrectingerrors.It isexpectedthattheRegistrydata coordinatorwillinteractwithavarietyofindividualsatthesitesuch aslinemanagers,computersupportpersonnel,industrialhygienists,andsitemedicalclinicpersonnel. If a site should make a change in who performs the role of Registry data coordinator, the site must notify the Beryllium Registry Data Center (see section 2.3 below) and the DOE Beryllium Registry Program Manager (see #2 in Foreward). It is important for the new Registry data coordinator to get proper guidance on the tasks to be done and the importance of performing this role correctly. The new Registry data coordinator shall contact the Beryllium Registry Data Center to arrange a conference call for the purpose of reviewing the duties associated with this role.

2.4.Worker Confidentiality Protection: TomaintaintheconfidentialityofRegistrydata,theRegistry data coordinatormustinsurethataunique,encryptedidentificationnumberisassignedtoeveryworker includedintheRegistry.AllinformationthatissubmittedtotheRegistryregardinga specificworker mustincludehisor heruniqueencryptedidentificationnumber.As thehealthimpactof berylliumexposuremaynotoccuruntilmanyyearsafteremployment,theRegistry data coordinatormustinsurethata systemis maintainedthatlinksaworker’sidentitytohisor heruniqueidentificationnumber,evenafterthe workerterminatesemployment.BecausetheBerylliumRegistrycontainsonlyencryptedidentifyinginformation,submittinginformationtoit isexplicitlyexemptfromInstitutionalReviewBoardreviewofresearchprotocolsunder10CFR 745 Section101 (b)(4) thatdealswithFederalPolicyfor theProtectionofHumanSubjects.

Uniqueencryptedidentifiersshouldnotbeoverlysimplistic,such asreversingtheworker'ssocialsecuritynumber,andshouldnotduplicateotherexistingidentifiers.Theuniqueidentifiershouldnotbe reassignedto a differentworker,evenifthefirstworkerassignedtotheidentifierexitstheworkforceatthatrespectivesite.Shouldthisworkerreturntotheworkforceatthissite,hisor heruniquenumbershouldbe restoredtothisspecificindividual.

Whena workertransfersfromoneDOE sitetoanother,heorshewillbereassignedanew uniqueencryptedidentifier,codedaccordingtothecurrentsite’sencryptionscheme.Formersitesshouldadvisethetransfereestoidentifythemselvesasa beryllium-associatedworker tothesiteoccupationalmedicinedirector(SOMD) upon theirarrivalatthenew site.TheSOMDshouldalsodetermineiftransferredworkers wereincludedintheBerylliumRegistryattheprevioussite. Ifso, theSOMDwillcontacttheSOMD attheprevioussitetoobtaintheoldidentificationnumberso thatlinkagescanbemade.

TomaintaintheconfidentialnatureoftheRegistry,10 CFR 850.39 (e)(2)(i)requiresthattheSOMD,orotherdesignatedsitepersonnelwithintheoccupationalmedicineclinic,retaintheencryptionkeythatidentifiesanindividualworker tohisor heruniqueidentifier.Theencryptionkeyshouldbeprovidedwithsecurityprotectionsimilartoothermedicallyconfidentialinformation.

PublishedreportsusingRegistryinformationwillgenerallycontainonlysummarydata.It ispossiblethatdescriptionsofworkingconditionsassociatedwitha specificcasewillbepublishedtosharelessons withothers.Suchdescriptionsofspecificcaseswillavoidcontainingenoughuniqueinformationtoallowreaderstoidentifytheindividualsbeingdescribed.

2.5.Data Analysis and Dissemination: TheRegistryservesas a surveillancesystemforcurrentworkers.It willprovideDOEwithinformationregardingadversehealthoutcomesassociatedwithaspecificexposure.TheRegistrywillallowDOE toascertaintheprevalenceof workerssensitizedtoberylliumandthenumberof workers who havechronicberylliumdiseaseduetopastexposure.As thedatabaseislongitudinalinnature(i.e.followingworkersforward intime),thedatawillbeabletodeterminethenumberofnewlysensitizedworkers(incidence)andcharacterizethedevelopmentofdiseasebasedon aworker’s firstexposuretoberyllium.In addition,theexposuremonitoringdatawillbeused tocharacterizelevelsof berylliumacross thecomplex.Lastly,theRegistryis anepidemiologictooltoevaluatehypothesesaboutthecausationof disease.Adversehealthoutcomesandexposuredatawillbeanalyzedtogethertodeterminetherisk ofdisease.

2.5.1.Data Analysis:DatasentbyeachsitetotheDataCenterwillbeinitiallyreviewedfor completenessandaccuracy.Registrystaffmemberswilluse customized softwareto determinemissingdata,datathatareoutofrange(e.g.unusualor incorrectvalues)andotherinconsistencies. TheDataCenterwillnotifyeachsitedatacoordinatoroferrors or omissionswithin60 daysofthereceiptofthedata.Thedatacoordinatorsmustsubmitthecorrecteddatawithin30daysofnotification.DataprocessingandsubsequentanalyseswillbeconductedbyORISE staffunderthedirectionoftheDOEOfficeofHealthandSafety(AU-13).

Thespecificationsof allvariablesareinthistechnicalstandard.DOEuses theterm"sensitization"tomeanthattheindividualhas hadabnormalresultson atleasttwo berylliumlymphocyteproliferationtests (BeLPT)sconfirmingexposureandanimmunesystemresponse toberyllium.The BAWR defines sensitization as an individual with 2 abnormal blood tests, or 1 abnormal and 2 borderline blood tests, or 1 abnormal bronchoalveolar lavage BeLPT, or a clinical evaluation with a diagnosis of beryllium sensitization.Only1abnormalBeLPTis requiredfortheDOL's EnergyEmployeesOccupationalIllnessCompensationProgramAct(EEOICP) coverageoffollow-upmedicalcosts.CBDstatuswasidentifiedbytheoccupationalmedicineclinicin accordancewiththeEEOICP.Job titleswillbereviewedandcategorizedintoa matrixofoccupationalcategoriesdescribedbelow.

TheanalytictechniquesforthisRegistryarethoseappropriateforepidemiologicstudiesbasedon a longitudinalcohortorahealthregistrydesign.Analyses willprogressfromsimpledescriptivestatisticstostatisticalmodelingwhereappropriate.Analyses willfocusonallparticipatingsites;individualsitedatamaybeanalyzedseparatelydependingonthesizeofthedatabase.Frequencydistributionswillbereviewedfor appropriate datavariables.Theprevalence of berylliumsensitivityandCBD willbedetermined acrossallparticipatingsites;whenappropriate,analyseswillbe conductedforindividualsites.

Whenscientificallyjustifiable,categoriesof variableswithsmallnumberswillbe collapsedtoensuremorestableestimatesofrisk.Variablesthathada totalfrequencyof fivecountsorless, andcould notbereasonablycombinedwithotherswillbeexcludedfromthe analysis.Measuresofcentraltendency,themean,median,andrangewillbeusedinthe descriptiveanalysisof continuousvariables (such as age,berylliumexposurelevels,etc.).Continuousvariablesmaybecategorizedbasedon theirvarianceparametersfor additionalanalyses.Estimatesofthepercentof exposures exceedingtheDOEactionlevelwillbeused as indicatorsofsiteperformancein controllingexposures.Inaddition,thisinformationmaybeusedtoexaminetheeffectofcomplianceon theoccurrenceofCBD.Categoricaldatasuch asgender, theyear of first hire, workhistory, theBeLPTresults,theyearoffirstpositiveorabnormalBeLPTresult,andtheuseof respiratoryprotection,willbepresentedas frequencydistributions.

An analysisoftheexposuredatawillbe conductedseparatelytocharacterizehowexposuresaredistributedintheworkforce.

Cumulativeoccupationalberylliumexposurefor eachworker maybecalculatedas thesumofthejobspecificexposuresmultipliedbytheyearsofexposureinthespecificjob(∑ (jobtitleexposureestimateXyearsinthejobtitle)).Exposuredatacommonlycontainahighpercentageofdatapointslowerthanlaboratoryreportinglimits,called non-detectableresults(leftcensoreddata).Thesedatawillbeanalyzedbymethodsadaptedfromsurvivalanalysis, usingmaximum likelihoodor Kaplan-Meierproductlimit estimates.Bothparametricandnon-parametricmethodsaredescribedin anOak RidgeNationalLaboratoryreport.1

Thestatisticalsignificancelevelfor allanalyseswillbesetataprobabilityof<0.05 (two-tailedtest). Significantdifferencesbetweenyears,sites, andwork histories formeanexposures and percentexceedingthe DOEactionlevelwillbe assessed using95% confidence limits. The associationbetweenthe percent of sensitizedor CBDworkersand the%exceedingtheactionlevel for differentsites and workhistorieswill assessed usingPearson’s product moment correlationcoefficient.Allanalyses willbeperformedusingSAS (SASInstitute,Cary,NC) andR(theRFoundationfor StatisticalComputing).

Theresultsoftheanalyseswillbe returnedtoindividualsiteindustrial hygienedepartmentstoassistthemin determiningcompliancewithexposurelimits.

2.5.2.Dissemination of Information: Analyses of health and exposure data will be published in annual reports. Approved reports will be published on the DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security web site and submitted to the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information. Participating sites will be notified of the availability of these reports and asked for comments and suggested improvements for future reports. Data analyses will also be presented at meetings of DOE safety and health protection specialists such as those sponsored by the Energy Facility Contractors Group and the Beryllium Health and Safety Committee.

One goalofreportingwillbetoprovideinformationusefulforcommunicatingberylliumhazardinformationto beryllium-associatedworkers.Operatingorganizationsresponsibleforimplementingthe employeetrainingrequirementsof10 CFR 850willbea target audienceforthedistributionofperiodicreportsandthesolicitationof commentsforsuggestedimprovements.
