Introduction: in the modern world, the level of international terrorism is constantly growing, with an increasing tendency for terrorists to use an impressive arsenal of weapons of destruction, which creates a real threat to the world community, for all countries without exception. The use of various types of explosive devices in public places – streets, railway stations, and trains – is directed by terrorists to intimidate the population and create a serious threat to stability and security in society. Therefore, at the present stage, it is important to apply all previously developed methods and techniques, as well as to use new recommendations in order to improve the logistics of the law enforcement agencies. The involvement of specialists in conducting such an important investigative action as the inspection of the accident scene will contribute to an objective perception, a full study of the scene, the detection, recording and removal of various traces and other physical evidence in order to clarify the nature of the event. The purpose of the study: to determine the methods available to the investigator, providing the maximum possible information for further investigation of the crime. The objectives of the study: to describe the principles of modern tactics of conducting the accident scene observation; to clarify requirements and review the specifics of the inspection report of the explosion scene; to develop recommendations on the examination and recovery of the objects. Methods: the methodological framework is based on the methods of historicism, systematization, and comparative law. Results: the proposals were made to improve the interaction of the investigator with the forensic expert involved in the scene examination. Conclusions: as a result of the study, it is revealed that when the forensic examination of corpses or their fragments discovered at the accident scene when an explosive device was used, an approximate list of questions for the forensic expert is formed for the investigators. It is established that the use of the techniques available to the investigator provides the necessary information for further investigative actions.
Key words: inspection, the accident scene, criminalistics, investigative action, forensic examination.
