Why We Did This Review
We developed this report based on observations made while preparing the recommended fiscal year 2012 management challenges and internal control weaknesses for the U.S. Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board

Office of the Chief of Staff is responsible for reviewing
CSB’s performance in taking agreed-to corrective actions on
