⚡️ CSI – Ex Crime Scene Investigation

Because every explosion tells a story. When an explosion occurs, the scene speaks — if you know how to listen.

Our Ex Crime Scene Investigation (Ex-CSI) service combines explosion protection engineering, forensic analysis, and field experience to determine what happened, why, and how to prevent it.

We apply the same principles as forensic science — but in the world of ATEX, IECEx, and hazardous area engineering.

Each failure, ignition, or near-miss is reconstructed with a systematic, evidence-based approach.

We investigate:

• Ignition source identification (mechanical, electrical, static, thermal, chemical)

• Equipment and installation failures (non-compliance, damage, modification)

• Zone classification errors and design flaws

• Maintenance and inspection deficiencies

• Explosion protection documentation gaps

• Human factor and procedural deviations

Our methodology:

1. Scene assessment & data collection – photo/video documentation, witness interviews, device inspection

2. Technical analysis – review of Ex marking, EPL suitability, zoning, and documentation

3. Root cause evaluation – identifying direct, contributing, and organizational factors

4. Reporting & recommendations – actionable insights, compliance roadmap, prevention measures

Deliverables:

• Illustrated investigation report (PDF/HTML)

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA) with IEC 60079-17/-19 correlation

• Corrective and preventive action plan (CAPA)

• Optional integration with digital Ex Register and AI-based pattern recognition
