The statement 'It is the responsibility of each crew member to look after himself/herself, the liability/risk is not shared' is true or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes true
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

Safety on tilt-up sites is a shared responsibility. While each crew member must look after their own safety, the overall risk and the responsibility for managing it involve the whole team—workers, supervisors, and the employer. The safety plan relies on collective vigilance: following procedures, using PPE, inspecting equipment, and speaking up about hazards or stopping unsafe work so others aren’t put at risk. If someone observes a hazard or a misrigging, they’re expected to act not only for their own safety but to protect coworkers as well. Because liability for safety incidents can involve the crew and the company, the idea that risk is not shared isn’t accurate. In practice, safety relies on mutual accountability—everyone looking out for each other and the project.
