President Trump’s 2018 budget blueprint guts Chemical Safety Board
A White House proposal to eliminate funding for the U.S. Chemical Safety Board signals a full retreat from two decades of progress against chemical disasters and would, if enacted, put American lives in jeopardy, health and safety experts told the House Chronicle.
The CSB mission to investigate chemical disasters and make recommendations is similar to the better-funded National Transportation Safety Board’s investigations of airline crashes, train derailments and bridge collapses.
