CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD


Sunshine Act Meeting

    In connection with its investigation into three iron dust flash 
fires at the Hoeganaes facility in Gallatin, TN., the U.S. Chemical 
Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) announces that it will hold 
a public meeting on November 16, 2011, in Gallatin to collect 
additional information to aide in its ongoing investigation of the 
incidents. Two workers were killed in the first iron dust incident on 
January 31, 2011, and the second iron dust incident on March 29, 2011 
injured another employee. The third incident, a hydrogen explosion and 
resulting iron dust flash fires, claimed three lives and injured two 
others on May 27, 2011. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the EPIC 
Event Center, 392 and 394 West Main St., Gallatin, TN 37066.
    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 emailing their names and affiliations to 
[email protected] by November 10, 2011.
    At the meeting, CSB staff will discuss with the Board the results 
of their investigation to date into these incidents. In addition, a 
panel of outside experts and others will be invited to speak on a 
number of issues related to the investigation.
    All staff presentations are preliminary and are intended solely to 
allow the Board to consider in a public forum various issues and 
factors involved in this case. No factual analyses, conclusions or 
findings presented by staff should be considered final.
    After the conclusion of Hoeganaes case study discussion, the Board 
will conclude the public meeting by considering certain board business 
matters that have been calendared during board votes during FY 2011. 
Such matters involve the resolution of proposed status changes to 
recommendations made in the Imperial Sugar investigation, other board 
affairs issues, and consideration and vote on the CSB Human Capital 
Plan.
    Please notify CSB if a translator or interpreter is needed, at 
least 5 business days prior to the public meeting. For more 
information, please contact the Chemical Safety and Hazard 
Investigation Board at (202) 261-7600, or visit our Web site at: http://www.csb.gov.
