ORISE data management experts are optimizing the analysis of beryllium exposure data

ORISE is progressively developing digital dashboards for the individual years of data available in the Beryllium-Associated Worker Registry (BAWR). BAWR was created through DOE regulation 10 CFR 850–Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program—and maintains data related to the health, exposure, and work histories for current DOE or contractor employees who are exposed or potentially exposed to beryllium in their current or past work activities at a DOE site.
The dashboard effort first began in 2018 and allows users to monitor and display key data; however, significant progress was made in 2024 when dashboards for 2022 and 2023 BAWR data were launched. ORISE collects data from more than 30 active reporting sites for nearly 64,000 workers and assists DOE in the analysis of these data focusing on predictive indicators and risk management.
Data collected for the second half of 2024 is due by January 31, 2025, with the 2024 dashboard expected to be published in Spring 2025.
