Our public safety mission is to drive chemical safety excellence through independent investigations to protect communities, workers, and the environment. The agency was created under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
IN THE CSB’S 25-YEAR HISTORY, the agency has deployed to over 170 chemical incidents and issued more than 1000 recommendations that have led to numerous safety improvements across a wide variety of industries.
