CSB Applauds St Louis Board of Aldermen’s Actions

Following up on Tuesday’s recommendation status update, yesterday the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) formally recognized the actions of the St Louis, MO Board of Aldermen for their response to the CSB’s recommendations from the investigation of the Loy Lange Box Company explosion in 2017. The Aldermen recently updated local ordinances that “standardize in-service inspections for pressure vessels and establish minimum qualifications for personnel conducting in-service inspections of boilers and pressure vessels.” The Board continues to work with the Mayor of St Louis to resolve the final outstanding recommendation from that incident investigation.
