Review - CSB Updates Recommendation Status – 6-27-23

Yesterday, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) updated their ‘Recent Recommendation Status Updates’ page. They increased the number of ‘Open Recommendations’ from 135 to 155 (no new investigation reports have been published yet). They also changed the status on four existing recommendations from ‘Open’ to ‘Superseded’. Finally, they reported that two currently ‘open’ investigations have zero recommendations.

It really looks like the CSB is getting ready to publish two new reports (Intercontinental Terminals Company investigation and Optima Belle Explosion and Fire investigation) , probably today. This would still leave the Watson Manufacturing and Grinding and LyondellBasell investigations to be completed by their self-reported deadline of June 30^th.
