What does Deuteronomy 22:8 mean?

When you build a new house, put a railing around the roof so no one falls off and dies. That way, you won’t be responsible for someone’s blood on your property. Deuteronomy 22:8 - Modern Text Bible

(You’re responsible for making your home safe for others. If you don’t, you’re accountable for accidents.)
