I think that even today, except in the extreme, outlandish cases that the media hypes, most lawsuits are settled in a reasonable way. If using the 8-32 screws is indeed "industry standard practice", which it is, there would not be a liability issue any more so than usual. I think the foreman in this case is being a bit overzealous, but, he's the boss.
