In Catherine’s own words: “I am greatly honored that President Biden announced my nomination to serve as Board Member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.”

The Chemical Safety Board was created as an amendment to the Clean Air Act to address environmental and safety hazards from chemical emissions including those involving hydrocarbons. As a Commissioner of the California Public Utilities Commission and an Energy Law Professor, and through other professional work, Catherine has experience in analyzing the root cause of hydrocarbon incidents that result in loss of life, environmental hazards, and contribute to climate change. She is grateful to have the opportunity to contribute this experience to promote public and worker safety.
