The CSB is an independent federal agency charged with investigating industrial chemical accidents. The agency's board members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. CSB investigations look into all aspects of chemical accidents, including physical causes such as equipment failure as well as inadequacies in safety management systems. CSB is now using brief videos to communicate the major findings of their investigations.

Chemistry Laboratory Information Profiles (CLIPs) were developed to fill the gap between information available in MSDS and package labels and practice in a laboratory -- especially the hazards of a chemical presented for use by teachers and their students. CLIPs are copyrighted by the Division of Chemical Education, Inc. of the American Chemical Society and used with the permission of the Journal of Chemical Education.

The University of California IH&S Committee's Lessons Learned resource site features some "Lessons Learned" documents, presentations and photo collections that have been reviewed and compiled from various sources. These resources may be helpful in planning new projects, reviewing work activities, or developing training with the goals of improving safety and preventing losses. Lessons Learned resources are compiled following events in which some previously unconsidered consequence has occurred, regardless of whether an injury or economic loss is sustained.
