CSB Publishes Safety Spotlight Acknowledging AFPM Actions

Yesterday the Chemical Safety Board announced the publication of a Safety Spotlight document acknowledging the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) for the organization’s leadership in chemical safety. Specifically, CSB noted that the AFPM took responsibility for addressing the CSB’s safety recommendation for the American Petroleum Institute (API) that resulted from the Board’s investigation of the 2018 Husky refinery explosion and fire.

The CSB notes that:

“This type of positive collaboration to implement CSB recommendations illustrates that addressing chemical safety is a shared responsibility and should be emulated by others. Such commendable action helps drive chemical safety excellence.”
