Chemical Safety Board (CSB)

The Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is an independent U.S. federal agency that investigates chemical accidents to improve safety in industrial settings. Its primary goal is to prevent future incidents by analyzing the causes of accidents and recommending ways to enhance safety practices. The CSB conducts thorough investigations, publishes detailed reports, and promotes public awareness about chemical safety issues. Unlike regulatory agencies, the CSB does not enforce laws but focuses on learning from past incidents to protect workers, communities, and the environment from hazardous chemical exposure and accidents.
