USCSB

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (USCSB or CSB for short) is an independent federal government agency in the United States that is tasked with investigating the cause of industrial accidents involving chemicals. The agency was formed in January 1998 following the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. 
The videos uploaded by the CSB are typically detailed animations of completed accident investigations based on the accident's final report outlining the timeline of the accident, the cause(s), other findings that may have impacted the outcome, and safety recommendations. Sometimes the CSB will release preliminary animations of more recent accidents only detailing the timeline of the event. The CSB doesn't issue fines or citations but makes recommendations to companies, industry organizations, local governments, and regulatory bodies such as the EPA and OSHA.
The CSB contracts Abbott Animation to animate the videos with Sheldon Smith narrating throughout. Some of the most notable accidents investigated by the CSB include the 2005 Texas City Refinery explosion, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the West Fertilizer Company explosion, and the 2019 Philadelphia refinery explosion.
The high quality of the animations and details presented in the videos recently have received much attention with its most recent video receiving 1.4 million views 3 months after being uploaded.
