Congressman DeSaulnier calls for enhanced chemical safety oversight following a recent refinery explosion in California.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Mark DeSaulnier issued a statement regarding the explosion at Chevron’s El Segundo refinery, marking the second incident of its kind in California this year. He emphasized the need for enhanced oversight and called for the restoration of the Chemical Safety Board (CSB), which he claims has faced significant budget cuts.
DeSaulnier stated, “The current investigative process is siloed and toothless,” and highlighted the risks to communities if federal, state, and local agencies do not take more decisive actions. He stressed that without effective reforms and a functioning CSB, the likelihood of future accidents remains high
As a senior member of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, DeSaulnier's advocacy for refinery safety reform stems from his previous efforts on local safety ordinances following a deadly explosion in 1997. He has previously worked to maintain CSB funding amid attempts to eliminate it under the Trump administration.
