CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD

 
Sunshine Act Meeting

    The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board announces 
that it will convene a Public Meeting beginning at 10 a.m. local time 
on June 25, 2003, at the Wyndham City Center Hotel, 1143 New Hampshire 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20037. The Board will consider: a staff 
update on current investigations, review a bulletin on the dangers of 
nitrogen asphyxiation; review the status of recommendations made in 
prior CSB investigations; discuss the possibility of future hazard 
studies; hear a status report on the CSB redesign of its web site; 
discuss the reactives roundtable meeting held on June 10, 2003; and 
finally, review and possibly vote on the agency's revised five-year 
Strategic Plan.
    Recommendations are issued by a vote of the Board and address an 
identified safety deficiency uncovered during the investigation, and 
specify how to correct the situation. Safety recommendations are the 
primary tool used by the Board to motivate implementation of safety 
improvements and prevent future incidents. The CSB uses its unique 
independent accident investigation perspective to identify trends or 
issues that might otherwise be overlooked. CSB recommendations may be 
directed to corporations, trade associations, government entities, 
safety organizations, labor unions and others. For an update on the 
status of all outstanding recommendations, go to the CSB Web site at 
http://www.csb.gov.
    All staff presentations are preliminary and are intended solely to 
allow the Board to consider in a public forum the relevant issues and 
factors.
    The meeting is open to the public. Please notify the CSB if a 
translator or interpreter is needed 5 business days prior to the public 
meeting. For more information, please contact Dan Horowitz at 202-261-
7613.

Christopher W. Warner,
General Counsel.
