CSB Releases New Safety Video for Husky Refinery Explosion and Fire – 6-9-23

Yesterday, the Chemical Safety Board announced the availability of their latest safety video. The YouTube video looks at their investigation of the Husky Energy Superior Refinery Explosion and Fire. As we have come to expect with CSB videos, the animation of the accident provides an excellent visual depiction of the steps leading up to the explosion and the subsequent fire. The discussion of the safety recommendations made in the CSB report was enhanced by the animation of relevant portions of the incident.

My only complaint about the new video is the overly dramatic 45 second introduction of the CSB seal at the start of the video. It had nothing to do with the incident, it was overly long, and it was way over-the-top for a safety video.
