Montgomeryville, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2018 -- Workplace health and safety is crucial in many industries, especially when there are requirements by law to comply with regulations. LEM Products, Inc., the leading manufacturer of signs and labels, including high voltage signs and other products, encourages companies to take appropriate measures to prevent workplace injuries and death.

In many industries, employees who work in factories are exposed to harmful chemicals, radiation, and other substances. LEM Products provides markers and signs to companies so that their workers are made aware of all hazardous areas.
Recently, OSHA has made amendments to its beryllium standard, issuing a final rule. Side effects of excess beryllium exposure are lung cancer, and chronic beryllium disease, which includes shortness of breath, fatigue, coughing, weight loss, fever and night sweats. The final rule issued by OSHA was implemented to control and reduce the amount of beryllium exposure. The PEL, or permissible exposure limit for beryllium, has been reduced to 0.2 micrograms per cubic meter of air over a period of 8 hours. The new-short term exposure over a span of 15 minutes limits beryllium to 2.0 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
Exposure to beryllium is most common amongst aerospace, electronics, energy, medical, telecommunications, and defense industries. Although beryllium exposure is unavoidable in these workplaces, ensuring proper safety markers and signs are in place can help to limit exposure.
