CSB Publishes 3rd Volume of Reported Incident Summaries – 7-21-25

Today the Chemical Safety Board announced the publication of the 3^rd volume of their Incident Reports. This volume provides investigation summaries of thirty accidental chemical release incidents reported to the Board since April 15^th, 2020. The investigations were not conducted by the CSB, but rather by the affected companies. Volume 1 (26 incidents) was published in January of this year and Volume 2 (25 incidents) in March.

While these investigation reports are not up to the technical standards of the CSB, they still provide valuable insights into how accidental releases occur in the chemical industry. Readers are going to have to deduce and apply the lessons learned as there are no recommendations from the Board at the end of these reports.
