Petty infighting, retaliation and a general failure of leadership at the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board is putting the public at risk, according to a joint report from the U.S. House Science, Space and Technology and the Oversight and Government Reform committees.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chair of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) released a joint staff report June 19 titled, “Whistleblower Reprisal and Management Failures at the U.S. Chemical Safety Board.”
