United States Chemical Safety Board

The United States Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is an independent federal agency tasked with investigating industrial chemical accidents. Its goal is to determine the root causes of incidents like explosions, fires, or toxic releases at chemical facilities. By identifying safety failures and contributing factors, the CSB provides recommendations to prevent future accidents. The agency does not have regulatory authority but aims to improve chemical safety and protect communities, workers, and the environment through thorough investigations and public reports.
