Riley, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I agree with the test established by the lead opinion for finding an intentional tort. I also concur *192with its conclusion that plaintiff Travis did not meet this test.1 I, however, disagree with the conclusion that summary judgment was not properly granted in Golee. Accepting the facts pleaded by Golee as true, I do not believe that they demonstrate an intentional tort. The employer simply did not have actual knowledge that an injury was certain to occur. Consequently, I would affirm the trial court’s granting of summary disposition in this matter.
Brickley, C.J., and Weaver, J., concurred with Riley, J.

 In conclusion, plaintiff Travis is unable to establish that her employer possessed the specific intent to injure her. Although her employer may have negligently permitted an unsafe work environment to exist, no intentional tort was committed. [Ante at 183.]
