Safety factors fixative-related

Other important causal factors and questions also were not addressed in the report such as why the level transmitter was not working so soon after it was supposedly fixed, why safety orders were so delayed (the average age of a safety-related work order in this plant was three months), why critical processes were allowed to operate with non-functioning or erratically functioning safety-related equipment, whether the plant management knew this was happening, and so on.
