INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Sunshine Act Meeting 

TIME AND DATE: May 1, 2014, 6:00 p.m.– 

9:00 p.m. PST 

PLACE: Brodniak Auditorium, Anacortes 

High School; 1600 20th St. Anacortes, 

WA 98221 

STATUS: Open to the public. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: 

The Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board (CSB) will convene 

a public meeting on May 1, 2014, 

starting at 6:00 p.m. PST at the Brodniak 

Auditorium, Anacortes High School, 

1600 20th St., Anacortes, WA 98221. 

At the public meeting, the Board will 

consider and vote on the final 

investigation report into the April 2, 

2010, explosion and fire that fatally 

injured seven employees at the Tesoro 

Refinery in Anacortes, WA. The CSB’s 

investigation found that at the time of 

the incident a bank of heat exchangers 

was being brought online in the 

refinery’s naphtha hydrotreater unit 

when another heat exchanger in a 

parallel bank catastrophically failed, 

spewing highly flammable hydrogen 

and naphtha which ignited. Seven 

Tesoro workers who were nearby, 

assisting with the heat exchanger 

startup, were fatally burned. The 

accident at Tesoro was the mostly 

deadly U.S. refinery incident since the 

2005 explosion at BP Texas City, TX. 

that killed 15 workers and injured 180 

others. 

At the meeting, CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of the 

investigation’s findings and safety 

recommendations. 

The Board will then consider whether 

to approve the final report 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, considered 

public comments that were previously 

submitted, and adopted a final 

investigation report and 

recommendations will there be an 

approved final record of the CSB 

investigation of this incident.

public. If you require a translator or 

interpreter, please notify the individual

Further Information,’’ at least five
