CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD


Sunshine Act Meeting

    In connection with its investigation into an explosion and fire 
that occurred at the Bayer CropScience facility in Institute, West 
Virginia, on August 28, 2008, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) 
announces that it will hold a public meeting on April 23, 2009, in 
Institute, West Virginia, to present preliminary findings from its 
investigation of the explosion that fatally injured two workers.
    The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the West Virginia State 
University Wilson Building, Multipurpose Room, 103 University Union, 
Institute, WV 25112. The meeting is free and open to the public. Pre-
registration is not required, but to assure adequate seating, attendees 
are encouraged to pre-register by e-mailing their names and 
affiliations to [email protected] by April 10.
    At the meeting, the CSB investigative team will present its 
preliminary findings on the circumstances of the accident to the CSB 
Board and the public. The Board will ask questions of the team in front 
of the audience. Following the presentation of the CSB's preliminary 
findings, a panel of outside witnesses will be invited to speak on a 
number of issues related to the accident.
    At the end of the panel discussion, comments from members of the 
public will be heard. The meeting will be videotaped, and an official 
transcript will be included in the investigative file.
    All staff presentations are preliminary and are solely intended to 
allow the Board to consider the issues and factors involved in this 
case in a public forum. No factual analyses, conclusions, or findings 
of the staff should be considered final. Only after the Board has 
considered and approved the staff final report will there be an 
approved final record of this incident.

Christopher W. Warner,
General Counsel.
