What will be an ideal response?


Tort liability is of concern to engineers and constructors because construction job sites are inherently unsafe environments where workers, and other individuals, are harmed or killed during the course of construction operations. If engineers and constructors are aware of the ramifications of tort liability they are more cautious and are more attentive to the conditions that lead to unsafe working conditions.
