NASA OIG: Review of NASA’s Explosives Safety Program
“This Office of Inspector General (OIG) review found that NASA’s Explosives Safety Program was poorly managed and exposed personnel and facilities to unnecessary risk. Specifically, we identified 155 violations of regulations, policies, procedures, and processes involving unsafe conditions and practices – some of which could have resulted in significant damage, injury, or death to NASA personnel, contractors, and the public.”
