CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD
INVESTIGATION BOARD
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Sunshine Act Meeting
In connection with its investigation
into the cause of an explosion and fire
which occurred at BP’s Texas City
refinery on March 23, 2005, the United
States Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board (CSB) announces
that it will convene a community
meeting starting at 6 p.m. local time on
Thursday, October 27, 2005, at the
Charles T. Doyle Convention Center,
2010 5th Avenue North, Texas City,
Texas 77590. At the meeting CSB staff
will present to the Board the
preliminary results of their investigation
into this incident. There will be a public
comment period after the investigators’
presentation.
At approximately 1:20 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 23rd, a series of
explosions occurred at the BP Texas
City refinery during the restarting of a
hydrocarbon isomerization unit. Fifteen
workers were killed and about 170
others were injured. Many of the victims
were in or around work trailers located
near a blowdown drum and stack that
were open to the atmosphere. The
explosions occurred when a distillation
tower flooded with hydrocarbons and
was over pressurized, resulting in a
release of flammable hydrocarbons from
the blowdown stack. After the staff
presentation, the Board will allow a
time for public comment. Following the
conclusion of the public comment
period, the Board will consider whether
the preliminary facts presented
necessitate any recommendations prior
to the final completion of the Board’s
investigative report.
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.
