Specific Features of a Fire Safety and Technical Expert Training

Abstract

The paper examines a range of issues related to the influence of the level of training and competence of the expert on the quality and timeliness of forensic fire safety and technical expertise. The current state of the specifics of such a training in educational institutions at Forensic Expertise Programs (Engineering and Technical Expertise specialization) is analyzed. The authors propose some recommendations and ways to solve some problems in this regard. The authors believe that the current state of training of fire technical experts requires some changes. This is due to many factors, for example, an increase in the range of tasks to be solved, the emergence of new specializations (subtypes of forensic fire safety and technical examination), the introduction of new technologies and expert equipment, reengineering of scientific and methodological support for the activities of a fire safety and technical expert, etc. In the paper, the authors pay special attention to the criteria for selecting applicants to universities and the features of training future experts. It is proposed to make some changes to the regulatory documents for the preparation (training) of fire safety and technical experts at Forensic Expertise Programs (Engineering and Technical Expertise specialization).
