Who holds the responsibility for ensuring that subcontractors adhere to site safety regulations?

  1. The project manager

  2. The company contact

  3. The safety officer

  4. The site supervisor

The correct answer is: The company contact

The responsibility for ensuring that subcontractors adhere to site safety regulations is typically held by the company contact. This individual serves as the primary liaison between the contractor and subcontractors, and part of their role involves overseeing compliance with safety protocols and regulations on the job site. The company contact is accountable for ensuring that all contracted work aligns with the safety standards established for the project, making them pivotal in the enforcement of site safety. While other roles like the project manager, safety officer, and site supervisor play important parts in promoting a safe work environment, the company contact specifically has the authority and obligation to ensure that subcontractors meet the necessary safety regulations. This includes communicating safety expectations, conducting safety briefings, and facilitating training for subcontractors to ensure compliance with on-site safety practices.
