Yesterday, the Chemical Safety Board added three new safety recommendations to their list of open recommendations. The new recommendations are based upon an as of yet unpublished safety study: “CSB Safety Study: Remote Isolation of Process Equipment”. I expect that the report will be released at today’s Public Business Meeting.
In regards to the study, the CSB notes:
“Over the last several years, the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) has reviewed and investigated numerous incidents where the consequences of these occurrences escalated following a loss of containment due to the lack of effective remote isolation equipment. These incidents resulted in serious injuries, fatalities, environmental contamination, and severe damage to facilities.”
The recommendations were made to the following entities:
• American Petroleum Institute - 2024-01-H-1,
• Environmental Protection Agency -
2024-01-H-2, and
• Occupational Safety and Health
Administration - 2024-01-H-3
