Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB)

The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is an independent U.S. government agency that investigates industrial chemical accidents. Its main goal is to improve safety by determining what caused these incidents, analyzing their impacts, and making recommendations to prevent future occurrences. The CSB does not enforce laws but aims to educate industries, policymakers, and the public about chemical hazards and safety practices. By conducting thorough investigations and sharing findings, the CSB helps create safer workplaces and communities, reducing the risk of chemical-related accidents.
