CSB has adopted the mission to “Drive chemical safety change through independent investigations to protect people and the environment.” According to CSB chair Vanessa Allen Sutherland, the agency will “continue to share critical safety lessons with industry, workers, and stakeholders to help us reach our shared responsibility of creating a nation safe from chemical disasters.”
To that end, CSB has updated a strategic plan that describes three goals:
- Prevent recurrence of significant chemical incidents through independent investigation.
- Advocate safety and achieve change through recommendations, outreach, and education.
- Create and maintain an engaged, high-performing workforce.
