Management system failures identified in incidents investigated by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board

A key mission of the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is to determine the root causes of incidents, report the findings, and issue recommendations to prevent similar incidents from occurring. CSB investigators respond to a variety of events occurring in a wide range of workplaces, from chemical plants and refineries to food‐flavoring factories and steel mills.
