475 6 Chief, Accident and Fire Prevention Branch, or his representative, who in turn, recommends two or more other members. The members are selected on bases of: 1. their abilities to apply accident and fire investigative techniques, 2. their technical knowledge and experience in the safety field and/or in the field of particular involvement, 3. their availability to respond to the accident site in a timely manner and to be free to devote the amount of time required to investigate. Additionally, OSHA requires employee representation on the commi ttee . 13. Was any consideration given to appointing a member from outside GSA who might have been able to bring a more independent viewpoint to the investigation? Is this ever done in other GSA investigations? The committee members selected were considered appropriate and fulfilled the above criteria. Ad hoc investigative committee membership is not necessarily limited to GSA employees. For example, people from outside GSA were committee members for the St. Louis Records Center fire and the Pentagon cafeteria fire. 14. Did the committee feel constrained because GSA employees were being asked to investigate fellow agency employees?
