This collection of six papers on workplace accident investigation and prevention within a legal framework – known as ‘Forensic Engineering’ – represents the work of Dr. N. Krishnamurthy, involving teaching, consultancy and research into various aspects of workplace safety and risk management in USA, India, and Singapore. Summarizing his personal experience with cases and projecting them on the backdrop of classical and not so well known examples around the world, the book covers the following six themes: Principles of forensic engineering Investigative methods in forensic engineering Computer methods in forensic engineering Experiences as an expert witness Professionalism in forensic engineering Ethics in forensic engineering Written in a casual and chatty style and avoiding technical jargon, the essays should be of interest not only to students and practitioners of forensic engineering but also to the casual reader who is new to and curious about this exciting field.
