CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD 

INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Sunshine Act Meeting 

TIME AND DATE: February 7, 2013; 6:30 

p.m. EST. 

PLACE: Seelbach Hilton, Medallion E&F 

Salon, 500 Fourth Street, Louisville, KY. 

STATUS: Open to the public. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The 

Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board (CSB) announces 

that it will convene a public meeting on 

Thursday, February 7, 2013, starting at 

6:30 p.m. EST in the Medallion E&F 

Salon at the Seelbach Hilton located at 

500 Fourth Street in Louisville, KY. 

The agenda for the meeting includes 

the presentation of the findings from the 

CSB investigation into the March 21, 

2011, furnace explosion that occurred at 

the Carbide Industries facility located in 

Louisville, KY. Two workers were killed 

and two were injured when an electric 

arc furnace (EAF) over pressured and 

emitted powdered debris, hot gases, and 

molten calcium carbide. The hot gases 

and debris blown from the furnace 

broke through the double-pane 

reinforced glass window of the control 

room, severely burning the two workers 

inside; they died within 24 hours from 

burn injuries. 

At the meeting, CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of the 

investigation into this incident. Key 

issues identified in the investigation 

include facility siting and the 

effectiveness of safety standards that 

cover electric arc furnaces. Following 

the staff presentation on proposed 

findings and safety recommendations, 

the Board will hear brief comments from 

the public. 

Following the conclusion of the 

public comment period, the Board will 

consider whether to approve the final 

case study and recommendations. All 

staff presentations are preliminary and 

are intended solely to allow the Board 

to consider in a public forum the issues 

and factors involved in this case. No 

factual analyses, conclusions, or 

findings presented by staff should be 

considered final. Only after the Board 

has considered the staff presentations, 

listened to public comments, and 

adopted a final investigation report and 

recommendations will there be an 

approved final record of the CSB 

investigation of this incident. 

Following consideration of the report 

on the Carbide Industries explosion, the 

Chairperson may call up the following 

items related to CSB safety 

recommendations that have been 

calendared for consideration at a public 

meeting: Notation Items 843, 2013–01, 

2013–02, and 2013–04. Details on each 

item are available at http:// 

www.csb.gov/records/default.aspx. 

The meeting will be free and open to 

the public. If you require a translator or 

interpreter, please notify the individual 

listed below as the ‘‘Contact Person for 

Further Information,’’ at least five
