Thank you CSB. I'm an area manager at a large chemical manufacturing plant and I take your videos and recommendations very seriously. This makes a difference
I just want to appreciate how realistic that CGI fire and smoke is. It's actually no big deal with current computer effects, but many animations just won't bother using Nuke or such.
These guys can make process safety interesting. That's amazing. The animations are first rate and the explanations are clear enough even for a layman like me.
Thank you for these videos, we have used it before in México to our coompany to make changes and apply the recomendations of this videos and reports. It has let us improve our process and safety!
When I worked maintenance at one of the largest freezer warehouses in the U.S. our management made maintenance a priority. After 10 years it was saving money that became a priority and they didn't care to keep up with maintenance. The ammonia alarms in the freezers were turned off because they gave false alarms. The sprinkler systems also did not work in the freezers and were turned off. Our managers always said that safety came first but that end up a lie. After many years instead of a once monthly safety training meetings they went to once yearly. Many new hires in maintenance had no idea what to do if there was an ammonia leak. There were many OSHA violations at our warehouse but they stopped inspections so management did not worry about violations. If a safety problem came up they covered it up if it cost them money. They would write us up for safety violations for not wearing an orange vest but turned a blind eye to far more serious violations such as the ammonia alarms and sprinkler systems did not work properly.

Whoever makes these videos at the USCSB, or whoever had the idea to make these, is a genius. They make safety FUN.
The scary thing with many of these accidents is that you could be working right next to a dangerous container or pipe and not even know.
God I love these videos. Similar to junky Discovery shows but without all the bullshit, and actually educational for the teams at work.
Sad part is there was probably a maintenance guy who pointed this out and he was told by a "manager" it was ok because it was shut down
If the name of a machine ends with something that sounds like ”inator”, there’s a good chance that it will blow up

Investigator Lauren Grim is the first person on all these videos that feels natural and she did the best job at explaining the incident.
I was there when this happened, it's unbelievable how loud it was.
Basic rule: Never open pressure into a vessel without first opening an outlet for that pressure to exit the vessel.
USCSB is the best
"Propylene fractionator reboiler" is fun to say. It's so...industrial.

I'm glad your organization exists and that you produce these videos for the public. That's so excellent.
Informative videos + clickbait-free video titles + things go boom = hammering that sub button.
as usual, great content. and as usual, the accident and resulting deaths were
That's a badass logo animation USCSB has got there.
