Quality-control and product-liability services
FAIR also specializes in analyzing quality-control problems, product defeciencies, and product-liability problems.
FAIR can assist with any emerging or continuing quality-control problems.
FAIR can identify the causes of product deficiencies by, for example, analyzing the material properties of the suspect product. This can be a one-time service, or a continuing process to ensure long-term product quality and to record production trends.
When liability for loss or injury is in question, FAIR's investigative capabilities can determine how and when a product failed.
FAIR's failure-analysis laboratory resources
The laboratory resources used by FAIR's investigators include some of the most advanced metallurgical, electron microscopic, photographic and computer facilities in the field.
FAIR's reports and court exhibits distil highly complex data on accidents and failures into easily understood computer graphics, charts and photographs.
Using advanced interdisciplinary techniques, FAIR can reconstruct virtually and accident.
FAIR knows what to look for. Because of its staff's experience in investigating thousands of cases, FAIR is also capable of developing new investigative techniques to overcome any problems, if this should prove necessary.
Integrating human, mechanical and environmental factors
FAIR's investigators can analyze the influence of the environment on the failures and accidents, such as contaminated operating conditions, the weather, poor highway markings and inadequate warning systems.
FAIR's investigators are skilled at understanding the influence of human factors in accidents and incidents, and at integrating the human factor into the causes of the accident or incident.
FAIR specializes in accident and incident investigations and failure analyzes concerning:
- Accident investigation of a head-on automobile crash.
- highway, rail and marine transportation
- control system failures
- industrial accidents and equipment failures, and
- fires and explosions.
