CSB. The CSB is an independent agency authorized under section 112(r)(6) of the Clean Air Act to investigate chemical incidents to determine the conditions and circumstances that have led to an incident and to identify the cause or causes so that similar incidents might be prevented. The CSB is modeled on the structure, activities, and authorities of the National Transportation Safety Board which investigates transportation-related incidents. The chemical incidents that the CSB investigates are those that result from the production, processing, handling, or storage of chemical substances (not limited to extremely hazardous substances) causing death, serious injury, substantial property damage (including damage to natural resources), or evacuations of the public. These incidents may occur at fixed facilities or during transit.
