Answer 1

Answer:

A. There has been full compliance with all government regulations and permit conditions

Explanation:

Many facilities produce waste that needs to be properly disposed of. Some waste might be radioactive, some might be biohazardous, and some might just be unsafe to dispose of through the normal channels.

Unfortunately in some instances, all procedures are followed and all processes are strictly monitored, however someone still manages to get hurt. In this case, they are still able to file a lawsuit to recover damages, even if there was full compliance of all regulations from the facility. The court can then decide who is at fault.
