CSB explosion report urges improved safety standards

摘要

A US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) case study on the 2009 explosion and fire at the Veolia ES Technical Solutions LLC facility in West Carrollton OH calls on the industry to improve safety standards covering hazardous waste processing, handling, and storage facilities. The board also recommended that fire protection codes be revised to require companies to determine safe distances between occupied buildings and potentially hazardous operating areas.
