In the interest of obtaining unbiased information, the investigating team should use considerable care to avoid establishing an adversary relationship with witnesses, employees, and elevator operators and owners, 3, Investigations should be performed by a team consisting of experts in dust-explosion phenomena, mechanics of blast damage, electrical engineering, grain elevator operations, interviewing of witnesses, safety regulations and codes, and system analysis. Team members should be able to document their evidence by photographs.
