Incident Investigation Reports Sample Clauses

Incident Investigation Reports. CSB will produce public reports as a result of its on-scene chemical incident investigations. These reports may recommend measures to reduce the likelihood or the consequences of accidental chemical releases and propose corrective steps to make chemical production, processing, handling and storage as safe and free from risk of injury as is possible. These reports may include recommendations by CSB that EPA take action (such as rulemaking) to prevent or minimize the consequences of any accidental release of substances that may cause death, injury, or other serious adverse effects to public safety and health and the environment. To the extent possible, and where to do so would not compromise public health and safety, CSB will discuss the timing of Board meetings, and the release of public reports with EPA, so that such actions do not jeopardize current enforcement or other actions by EPA. In addition to Agency reports, both CSB and EPA may use other methods for disseminating information gained from their chemical incident investigations, such as Alerts or special notices, incident data summaries for relevant industry sectors, presentations to industry trade associations, and posting of findings and lessons learned on CSB’s or EPA’s Internet Home Pages. Prior to the release of its report, the CSB may also issue interim safety bulletins to the company or industries involved or other documents to industry and other Federal agencies in order to further the safe operation of facilities producing, processing, handling, or storing chemical substances.
