    OSHA, a part of the Labor Department, made some minor corrections to its rule about exposure to beryllium in construction and shipyard jobs. The original rule, published on August 31, 2020, had some mistakes, which are now being fixed. OSHA says these changes are technical corrections and do not involve public input because they don't change any existing rights or responsibilities. The corrections ensure that workers are offered the right medical tests during evaluations, even if they have to be done at a different location agreed upon by the employer and the employee.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who make rules about safety at work fixed some small mistakes they found in a rule about working with a metal called beryllium. These changes help make sure workers get the right health checkups, and they don't need extra opinions from anyone.
