Civil Engineering Safety Issues

Safety is an important aspect for engineers regardless of their discipline. Electrical engineers, aerospace engineers, civil engineers, and mechanical engineers are each concerned with the safety characteristics of their projects and the level of tolerance that can be built into a project regarding failure. When loss of life-either singly or large numbers of fatalities-are a possibility, there is a direct relationship to the actions that engineers will take when designing or evaluating systems ("Safety Engineering," 2008).

Civil engineers have a particular interest in safety since the civil engineers design bridges, roads, and other infrastructure projects that have the potential for significant loss of life
