U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board:

CSB Homepage - On November 15, 1990, the United States took another step forward to make the world safer for workers and communities. On that day it enacted amendments (Public Law 101-549) to the United States' Clean Air Act, including one that authorized creation of an independent federal agency, the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (Board), to serve as a new resource in the effort to enhance industrial safety.

Unlike disasters which may have dramatic but short-lived or relatively localized effects, impacts associated with chemical accidents may be long-lived and extremely costly. The Board is mindful of the devastation that can follow a chemical accident, and recognizes it is battling time in its efforts to reduce the number and severity of such accidents. A chemical accident does not just affect employees and locations directly involved with the accident.
