CW: chemical safety investigation featuring mention of human death
The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is "an independent federal agency charged with investigating industrial chemical accidents."
https://www.csb.gov/about-the-csb/
"The CSB conducts root cause investigations of chemical accidents at fixed industrial facilities. Root causes are usually deficiencies in safety management systems, but can be any factor that would have prevented the accident if that factor had not occurred."
They have a great YouTube channel where they go into disasters and present their analysis of them:
