Services

MFC Forensic identifies the causes and dynamics of industrial accidents, fires and explosions, workplace injuries or fatalities, landslides and hydrogeological disruptions, and structural collapse and mechanical failures. Forensic activities address both events and documentary and administrative nonconformities. MFC Forensic’s consultants, who come from the world of industrial risk assessment as well as from the academic world, also combine experience, academic knowledge, professional background and competence, and forensic expertise to conduct independent third-party due diligence and audit activities in multiple areas, including industrial risk and process safety, fire prevention, and occupational health and safety.

As part of the development of investigation, survey, and discovery activities, MFC Forensic relies on specific forensic analysis software tools to optimize the processes of study, classification of documentary contributions, structured extraction of classified information, and the processes of archiving and classification of digital contributions (photographs, videos, 360° pics, point clouds, etc.).

MFC Forensic manages forensic engineering activities in the insurance and judicial fields, as party technical consultants The expertise of the MFC Forensic team is also rendered at the service of the investigating or adjudicating judiciary as CTUs (judge or public prosecutor’s office technical experts).

Structural agility, state-of-the-art methods and technologies as well as consolidated know-how acquired through years of experience enable MFC Forensic to guarantee ethics, reliability, clarity, and accuracy even in the most articulated and complex cases.

MFC Forensic uses tools and methods to test incidental hypotheses, using multiphysics simulation when necessary for complex phenomena. The team employs representation and visualization techniques to guide understanding of incidents, including employing special immersive virtual reality tools.

The most commonly used computational codes include codes for fluid dynamic analysis (1D, 2D and 3D) and finite element codes (FEM) also jointly employed for thermofluid dynamics analyses of nonlinear dynamic type. Through representational techniques, it is also possible to have alternatives to the observed incidental dynamics appreciated.

MFC Forensic develops training plans dedicated to safety and risk analysis professionals, with tailored and comprehensive courses focusing on the following topics:

• accident, injury, or near-miss analysis (with particular reference to industrial risk and events such as fires, explosions, toxic releases, collapses, and structural failures);
• investigation methodologies specific to forensic engineering and risk analysis, including Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Barrier Failure Analysis (BFA), and Bow-Tie;
• human factor and related error, described using human reliability assessment methods and specific tools.

24/7 support: from the incident investigation phase to the completion of the incident analysis. The MFC Forensic team can intervene promptly to be able to acquire in the immediacy of the event the multiplicity of information available and, in the context of activities of criminal relevance, to best assist the client in the eventual adversarial process.

The MFC Forensic team collaborates with accredited testing laboratories to perform specialized testing to support the analysis phases.
