On this Workers’ Memorial Day 2012, I would like to take the opportunity to look back and remember those who have lost their lives and suffered serious injuries on the job this past year.
作为独立联邦机构的主席，其任务是调查继续夺走生命太多的化学事故，我有机会与受到这些毁灭性悲剧影响的家人和朋友见面。去年在田纳西州加拉廷市的Hoeganaes设施中，可悲的是在可怕的可燃金属尘埃之火中丢掉丈夫，与克里斯·舍伯恩（Chris Sherburne）会面并与人交谈，她将丈夫失去是一项基本的人权。
Hoeganaes设施的一系列事故致命造成五名工人伤害。The CSB released its final report at a public meeting in January and heard first hand from families who told us they are looking to the government — federal and state — to play a more active role in saving their loved ones’ lives through the prevention of workplace accidents.
防止未来的事故是CSB任务的基石。确保全国各地的男人和女人返回下班回家是我深切致力于的任务。这些事故对家庭和社区的影响是压倒性的。正如舍伯恩女士在我们在加拉通举行的公开会议上雄辩地说，她仍在试图在丈夫去世后找到“新的常态”。
作为化学安全委员会主席，我想借此机会将我的代理机构推荐给这项重要的任务：通过彻底调查事故，并将结果与旨在挽救生命和保护公众和环境的关键安全建议一起公开，以防止事故。。
CSB继续前进，并发布高质量的事故调查。就在上周，我们发布了最终报告和安全视频，发生在纽约布法罗附近的杜邦设施中发生的致命热工作事故。
Over the next year the CSB will release several major reports including its investigation into the April 20, 2010, Macondo well blowout, explosion and fire that killed eleven workers in the Gulf of Mexico. Our investigation is progressing, with two interim reports with findings and recommendations to be released this year and a final report is expected to be completed in early 2013.
在这个工人阵亡将士纪念日，我重新将CSB重新提交到未来的重要工作。我们为那些丧生的人哀悼，但为了生存，我们为预防事故而战。
