Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry Dashboard(2022)

Welcome to the Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry (BAWR) Dashboard, developed by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) BAWR project team, under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).  The BAWR program began in Calendar Year 2002 (CY2002), and since its inception has tracked, monitored, and analyzed data on workers exposed to beryllium and produced annual reports and summary data tables for more than 30 active and inactive DOE sites throughout the United States. The first Registry publication reported data for 12,267 workers through CY2005. In CY2022, the Registry has grown to more than 47,000 workers (including those at inactive reporting organizations such as Rocky Flats and some retrospective data provided prior to the CY2002 start date of the Registry).

This BAWR Dashboard for CY2022 is the continued presentation of the BAWR data on an annual basis. As a means of providing a better user experience with this tool, in 2018 the BAWR program has transitioned from presenting data in a paper-based annual report to an interactive digital format, or a Dashboard. This transition from paper to digital format is intended to allow for interaction with and visualization of data contained in the Registry. 

Enhancements to facilitate the user experience include topical sections and tabs, navigation features such as mouse-overs with data details, and other helpful functions that allow users to quickly examine information. Users are able to explore the standard metrics and results of data analyses for the BAWR through an interrelated series of graphics and tables to provide a comprehensive overview of Registry demographics, health monitoring, and exposure activities.

Some helpful hints for the best experience as you explore the Dashboard:

• To interact with the data explorer, hover over any of the graphics on the screen and click on your selection for more information.
• Once the selected graphic is open, roll the cursor over data to enable a pop-up screen with more detailed information.
• When you have completed your review of the graphic, please click on the ‘x’ button located in the upper right-hand corner of the graphic.
• More information is provided in the Help section of the Dashboard.
• A PDF of the Dashboard is available for download, located at the bottom of the navigation bar on the left.
