CNN — (CNN) — Some Boeing employees did not understand their role in safety and feared retaliation for raising safety-related concerns, a report by federal regulators found Monday.

The panel, created after fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, but before the recent door plug incident, found “gaps in Boeing’s safety journey.” It also identified “hesitation in reporting safety concerns for fear of retaliation” because of management conflicts of interest and said confusion about the safety programs “may discourage employees from submitting safety concerns.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.
