Educating engineers on safety

Article Abstract:

The engineering curriculum should include and highlight the importance of ensuring safety of workers in construction projects. In an era when innovations are constantly being introduced in engineering materials and in actual engineering procedures, all aspects of the design stage should be examined closely for possible safety and health hazards. There have already been several cases wherein construction firms were penalized and their presidents imprisoned due to negligence of workers' safety.
