Beryllium copper can typically
be handled in solid form without significant health risk. Beryllium
containing materials may pose a health threat if recommended safe handling
procedures and cautionary criteria are not followed. Inhalation of airborne
beryllium may cause a serious lung disorder in susceptible individuals.
The U. S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has set
mandatory limits on occupational exposures. Read and follow the guidance
and instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before working
with the material.
