Since ancient times, safety and health laws have prescribed both remedies and retributions for a variety of situations. For example, the Book of Leviticus provided explicit instructions to priests for dealing with fabrics soiled with mold. The 282 pre-biblical laws set forth by Babylonian king Hammurabi (Code of Hammurabi) are clear-cut in terms of conduct and justice, with severe penalties for construction incidents. For example, “If a builder builds a house for someone and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in and kills its owner, then that builder shall be put to death.”
