Wendy Buckley, President and CEO of STARS HazMat Consulting, appeared live on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking News to discuss the proposed elimination of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.
The conversation examined why lessons learned from serious chemical incidents matter beyond the facility where an event occurs. Buckley discussed the potential implications for trucking, driver training, emergency preparedness, and overall highway safety when independent incident findings and safety recommendations are no longer available.
Buckley also addressed the importance of translating major incident investigations into practical operational improvements before similar failures occur elsewhere.
