PRB Keynote:
The Honorable
John S. Bresland

Chairman and CEO U.S. Chemical Safety Board

In 2003, the Chemical Safety
Board (CSB) launched
investigations of three major
industrial explosions involving
combustible powders.
These explosions—in
North Carolina, Kentucky,
and Indiana—cost lives
and caused numerous
injuries and substantial property losses. The
CSB responded by launching a nationwide
study to determine the scope of the problem
and recommend new safety measures for
facilities that handle combustible powders.
The PRB annual meeting is framed to start
with an explanation of the driving reasons for
increased rulemaking. Dust explosions kill and
injure American workers, destroy jobs and
businesses, and shatter communities. This
presentation will draw on lessons learned from
recent investigations of accidents involving
dust. It will also share the CSB’s findings and
recommendations for the prevention of future
dust accidents.

Learn what’s currently
on OSHA’s agenda, what
they’re working on to
protect workers, and how
it may impact the electric
power generation industry.
Hear their perspectives on
combustible dust. A leader
from OSHA will address
current safety & health issues, offer their
perspectives, including a renewed emphasis on
enforcement and what new frontiers they may
explore.
