CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD
Sunshine Act Meeting--September 24, 2009--6:30 pm
In connection with its investigation into the cause of a February
7, 2008, an explosion and fire at the Imperial Sugar refinery northwest
of Savannah, Georgia, the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation
Board announces that it will convene a public meeting on September 24,
2009, starting at 6:30 pm at the Hilton Savannah DeSoto--15 East
Liberty Street, Savannah, Georgia.
At the meeting CSB staff will present to the Board the results of
their investigation into this incident. Key issues involved in the
investigation concern combustible dust hazard recognition, minimizing
combustible dust accumulation in the workplace, and equipment design
and maintenance. This will be followed by a public comment period prior
to a Board vote on the report.
Incident: On February 7, 2008, at about 7:15 p.m., a series of
sugar dust explosions at the Imperial Sugar manufacturing facility in
Port Wentworth, Georgia, resulted in 14 worker fatalities and 36
injuries. Eight workers died at the scene and six eventually succumbed
to their injuries at the Augusta Burn Center. The explosions and
subsequent fires destroyed the sugar packing buildings, palletizer
room, and silos, and severely damaged the bulk train car loading area
and parts of the sugar refinery.
Following the staff presentation and the conclusion of the public
comment period, the Board will 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 final staff presentation,
listened to the witnesses and the public comments and approved the
staff report will there be an approved final record of this incident.
The meeting will be open to the public. Please notify CSB if a
translator or interpreter is needed, at least 5 business days prior to
the public meeting. For more information, please contact the Chemical
Safety and Hazard Investigation Board at (202)-261-7600, or visit our
Web site at: www.csb.gov.
