Proper evidence collection and shipping are critical to any failure analysis. When components are not documented, handled, or packaged correctly, the original conditions can be lost, making it difficult to determine the cause of failure.
In this episode of Evidence to Answers, forensic engineer Mark explains how evidence should be documented on-site, including photographing the full failure path and capturing installation and system details before any components are removed. He covers proper collection techniques, such as preserving connections intact, and explains the importance of packaging, labeling, and maintaining chain of custody in accordance with industry standards.
This video is for those involved in losses where product evaluation or subrogation may be required. Proper documentation, handling, and shipping of evidence provide the foundation needed for a complete and defensible evaluation.
