Forensic Engineers Are RM Detectives
The potential connection and relationship between forensic engineers and risk managers is clear: Forensic engineering investigations provide valuable data for the assessment and control of risk.
Forensic engineering is defined as the application of accepted engineering practices and principles for discussion, debate, argumentative or legal purposes.
A forensic engineer investigates losses to determine what caused the loss, who is responsible, and what could or should have been done to prevent the loss. Field investigations include examining evidence, assessing circumstances and recording observations.
