Abstract

The article examines the features of tactics for inspecting the scene of the incident when investigating criminal violations of safety rules during mining. When observing the preparatory stage, special attention in the inspection of the scene is paid to the membership. In particular, we believe that when investigating criminal violations of safety rules in the conduct of mining operations, it is inappropriate to involve attesting witnesses in the inspection. At the same time, it is advisable to expand the circle of specialists involved in the inspection of the accident site (electricians, mine surveyors, etc.). A feature of the tactics of the working stage, in our opinion, is the use of an eccentric research method, regardless of the type of accident. At the same time, when directly searching for traces, carriers of information, moving from the center to the periphery, one should be guided, first of all, by the type of man-triggered incident. The final stage consists of the following: a) finalization of the results of the inspection of the scene of the accident (we recommend that forensic experts be involved in this work – if there are corpses, and specialists of technical profiles corresponding to the type of accident; b) putting forward versions about the essence of what happened, its reasons, the perpetrators and determining the direction of the investigation.

Highlights

Ensuring the safety of mining operations is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the region
The noted circumstances necessitate research and, respectively, the development of organizational and tactical recommendations that increase the efficiency of site inspections in the investigation of criminal violations of safety rules during mining operations
The primary tasks of inspecting the scene of the incident in the investigated category of criminal cases should include: 1) Establishing and studying the very fact of a criminal violation of safety rules, and, in case of a positive result, deciding whether there has been a violation of safety rules

Summary

Introduction

Ensuring the safety of mining operations is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the region. Inspection of the scene as an urgent investigative action is aimed at establishing, researching and describing the situation at the scene of the incident, traces of the crime and other factual data, which, together with other evidence, make it possible to draw a conclusion about the event [1] and the mechanism of the crime. The noted circumstances necessitate research and, respectively, the development of organizational and tactical recommendations that increase the efficiency of site inspections in the investigation of criminal violations of safety rules during mining operations. Inspection and examination of the corpse (corpses), the traumas present on them, which make it possible to judge the mechanism of their causing and the causes of death, are carried out on the surface, which does not exclude the possibility of errors and makes it necessary to increase the reliability of the forensic scientist's judgment, develop recommendations for an organizational plan aimed at minimizing the negative consequences of possible errors
