Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, Federal Career Intern Program
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) has an entry level professional opportunity for a recent college or grad school graduate. Through the Federal Career Intern Program, the CSB is offering an individual the opportunity to be appointed to a 2-year internship. Upon successful completion of the internship, the individual may be eligible for permanent placement within the agency. This is a paid internship and you would be eligible to participate in the federal government benefit programs. This internship will allow the individual to work in and learn about the chemical process safety field, as well as develop personal and professional skills.
The CSB is an independent safety investigation agency. The mission of the Board is to enhance the health and safety of workers and the public, and to protect the environment by uncovering the underlying causes of accidental chemical releases and using these findings and supporting research to promote preventive actions by both the private and public sectors. The CSB conducts state-of-the-art investigations of carefully selected major incidents involving the accidental release of hazardous materials; produces high-quality, easy-to-read, and timely investigation reports that identify the root and contributing causes of these incidents; conducts hazard, safety and data studies designed to complement the Board’s investigation report and recommendation activities; develops well-reasoned and precisely targeted recommendations; and conducts effective advocacy activity for these recommendations.
