Admittedly, I'd never heard of the CSB until this article but their mission - from their "About Us" page - seems important:
"The CSB is an independent federal agency charged with investigating chemical incidents to determine the cause or probable cause."
Out of curiosity, I looked up the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment in 2023 and can't find their investigation on their site in either the active or completed investigation sections. Looking elsewhere, I'm only finding FEMA's concerns about cancer clusters, nothing from the CSB. Can anyone else find it?
- KindOne 1y agoTrain Derailment is for FRA / NTSB. CSB is for manufacturing / processing incidents.
- caseysoftware 1y agoGot it. Found the EPA reporting on the trail derailment too. It looks like the distinction is whether the potential source is stationary or not. Which reinforces the "duplication" point. Remove the distinction for the EPA and you have the need covered.
