@kuroi-dobe I don’t know how dry you like your infotainment, but I think this YouTube channel is pretty interesting, and I think you might be interested too.

They break down catastrophic failures at chemical plants, discussing what happened, what should have happened instead, and make recommendations to regulators and legislators.

The videos themselves are 3d cgi recreations of the event and it’s the best animation I’ve seen in a safety video. (Low bar, I know, but it really is halfway decent.)

I've been binging USCSB case studies—they're better than any soap opera I've ever watched—and I got to see the man with the greatest professional title of all time.

i wish the uscsb sold merch......i love both chemistry and workplace safety and want to wear a shirt or have a sticker about it

These CSB videos are so entertaining, educational, and easy for an anyone to understand.

The US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board YouTube channel will always be the funniest thing in the world to me. It started out as just, like, a boring milquetoast government channel that posted low-budget animations of industrial disasters interrupted by reminders that corporations have to adhere to safety standards, but it turned out that people really liked watching those low-budget disaster animations. So now the USCSB channel has a massive following of nearly 300k people, most of whom work in fields that have nothing to do with chemistry or industrial manufacturing and many of whom probably aren’t even American, and the video budget has visibly gone up and up over the past few years. Their video titles have changed from things like “CSB Safety Video: Vinyl Chloride” to “TRANSIENT HAZARDS: EXPLOSION AT THE REFINERY” and they have super fancy CGI and narration and their new intro has an eagle flying over a river and introducing the agency name. It genuinely makes me so happy, because a.) it’s a very effective form of outreach, b.) it’s nice to see the government funding something that’s actually helpful and useful to average citizens for once (showing why safety standards are important! dunking on employers for violating OSHA and cutting corners! encouraging people to notice and report unsafe practices!) and c.) it’s fucking hilarious that a boring government agency most people will probably never interact with offline has way more subscribers than the vast majority of other government channels

Starting at 5PM Pacific, 6PM Mountain and 7PM Eastern. Tonight, I have a very interesting stream planned.Remember when I did a stream on Tissue Engineering? It's back, but with a focus on Chemical Engineering Safety, courtesy of our friends the USCSB

Content warning for discussions and depections of industrial accidents

She US on my C till i SB

[sexhaver]

you watch USCSB on youtube? seems like it's up your alley, and they have a new intro on their latest vid that goes hard

at first i thought you were fucking with me or i had mistyped something, because USCSB is the United States Chemical Safety Board, but no, you are in fact correct, this video rules and the intro goes entirely too hard. my favorite part of the intro is how the music gets so loud near the end it starts clipping

discovered that USCSB videos pair very nicely with mr beastify

[sukimas]

we should have a national holiday for whenever a new USCSB video drops

[montgomerylawpllc]

A CSB safety video about the May 3, 2019, reactive chemistry incident at the AB Specialty Silicones manufacturing facility in Waukegan, Illinois. Two incompatible chemicals were mixed and reacted, producing flammable hydrogen gas that ignited, causing a massive explosion that killed four workers.

another day another 15 hours of putting the USCSB disaster investigation recreation videos on as ambient noise
