Once all immediate safety, cargo, and environmental concerns following an incident likely to result in a claim are addressed, the preservation of evidence becomes very important. Properly collected, preserved, and documented evidence provides information that enables us to learn from incidents, verify compliance with regulations, procedures and policies, and properly establish the incident’s liabilities.
In particular, the collection of perishable evidence, which is time critical and cannot be properly recreated or recovered, is particularly important. The new publication Collection of Perishable Evidence highlights the evidence to be immediately prioritized after particular incidents occur, documents best practices and potential pitfalls (i.e., do’s and don’ts) as well as noting key considerations for handling witness statements.
