A professional engineer designs a bridge without complying with the latest safety regulations established by the state engineering board. As a result, the bridge collapses, causing injuries to several individuals. Which aspect of negligence law is primarily concerned with the engineer's failure to follow these safety regulations?
The correct answer is 'Rules of conduct derived from statutes and custom' because the engineer was required to adhere to statutory safety regulations, which form part of the standard of care in their professional duties. The other options do not directly address the influence of statutory or customary rules on the standard of care.
