CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD 

INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Sunshine Act; Notice of Meeting 

In connection with its investigation 

into a natural gas explosion that 

occurred at the ConAgra production 

facility in Garner, North Carolina the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
2482 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2010 / Notices 

United States Chemical Safety and 

Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) 

announces that it will hold a public 

meeting on February 4, 2010, in Garner, 

North Carolina to consider urgent 

recommendations to the National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA), the 

American Gas Association (AGA) and 

the Chair of the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 

Committee that result from its 

investigation of this incident. 

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in 

the Oak Forrest Ballroom at the 

Sheraton Raleigh Hotel, 421 Salisbury 

St., Raleigh, North Carolina. 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 

ConAgra@CSB.gov. by January 29, 2010. 

On June 9, 2009, the ConAgra Slim 

Jim production facility in Garner, North 

Carolina, experienced a catastrophic 

natural gas explosion that caused four 

deaths, three critical life-threatening 

burn injuries, an amputation, and other 

injuries that sent a total of 71 people to 

the hospital. The explosion caused 

serious structural damage to 100,000 

square feet of the packaging area of the 

plant, including wall and roof collapse, 

which had the potential to cause 

additional deaths and serious injuries. 

The accident occurred during the 

installation and commissioning of a new 

gas-fired industrial water heater, 

manufactured by Energy Systems 

Analysts, Inc. (ESA). On the day of the 

accident, an ESA worker was attempting 

to purge the new gas piping of air by 

opening the supply of gas, prior to the 

start-up of the water heater. The purged 

gas was piped directly into the room 

rather than being vented to the outside. 

Some ConAgra employees smelled gas 

in the packaging area, others did not. 

Personnel who were in and out of the 

utility room noticed the gas odor but 

most were not seriously concerned and 

considered the purging activity to be a 

normal part of the start-up process. The 

ESA and ConAgra employees were not 

aware that as a result of the purging, a 

dangerous release of natural gas had 

occurred into the building, exceeding 

the lower explosive limit (LEL). 

The vicinity of the utility room 

contained numerous potential ignition 

sources, including multiple unclassified 

electrical devices. Nonessential 

personnel were neither aware of the 

water heater start-up nor instructed to 

leave the plant during the gas line 

purging activity. Over 200 people who 

had no role in the installation were in 

the building at the time of the 

explosion. 

At the meeting, the CSB investigative 

team will present its preliminary 

findings supporting the need for urgent 

recommendations arising from this 

incident to the CSB Board and the 

public. The Board will then ask 

questions of the team. At the end of the 

panel discussion, the Board will 

consider the urgent recommendations 

proposed by the staff. At the end of the 

Board’s deliberations, the Board may 

decide to proceed to vote to formally 

approve the draft urgent 

recommendations. 

The meeting will be videotaped and 

an official transcript will be included in 

the investigative file. All staff 

presentations are preliminary and are 

intended solely to allow the Board to 

consider the issues and factors involved 

in this case in a public forum. No 

factual analyses, conclusions, findings 

or recommendations of the staff should 

be considered final. Only after the Board 

has considered and approved the urgent 

recommendations will there be an 

approved final record.
