The disaster one decade ago at BP Texas City was the most serious refinery accident ever investigated by the CSB. The CSB's final investigative report into the incident, released in 2007, found organizational and safety deficiencies at all levels of the BP Corporation. The report also noted gaps in standards and practices that likely still exist today, contributing to other serious accidents over the last decade. In response, Chairman Moure-Eraso states in the safety message that "The CSB believes that current federal and state regulations do not focus enough on preventative measures or on continuously reducing process risks."
