NTSB to Survey Safety Culture at Boeing's 737 MAX Facility

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is set to survey the safety culture at Boeing's 737 MAX factory. This follows concerns over previous safety measures and Boeing's failure to prevent unauthorized work. Boeing has agreed to cooperate fully with the NTSB on this initiative.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is planning a survey to assess the safety culture of employees at Boeing's 737 MAX factory in Renton, Washington, announced NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy on Wednesday.

Homendy revealed the plan during a hearing in which she criticized Boeing's past safety efforts, particularly before a recent mid-air emergency involving the 737 MAX, and highlighted the planemaker's failure to prevent unauthorized or undocumented work at the facility.

Boeing executive Paul Wright assured the panel that the company would fully cooperate with the NTSB to execute the survey without any interference.
