1. The Chemical Safety Board is one of the most important, least known agencies to the general public.

Every safety training course in every chemical plant, refinery, oil company, major factory uses their research, studies and simulations to train the next generation running those facilities. Their simulations alone are some of the best training materials available - simply top-notch teaching tools.

I cannot imagine the chemical industry supporting these moves. They know that passing on critical incident knowledge is essential to staying alive.

There are over 800 highly hazardous chemical facilities within 50 miles of the Gulf Coast. EVERY person who steps foot on their premises learns about the hazards thanks to the work of the CSB.

JFC, this hurts my heart.
