Review – CSB Publishes Interim Recommendations in Coke Explosion Investigation

Yesterday the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) announced that they were taking the unusual step of publishing two safety recommendations relatively early in their investigation of the fatal explosion and fire at the U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works on August 11th. 2025. The CSB published an initial description of the incident on September 29th, 2025. The final report on this investigation, when completed, may contain additional recommendations.

Yesterday’s action brings the total number of CSB incident investigation recommendations to 1027, with 121 recommendations still open. Currently there are nine open CSB investigations, including the Coke Works inquiry.
