If a person has two or more functions at a work site, what must they do?

• A. Meet all of them
• B. Choose the most critical one to follow
• C. Delegate the others to someone else
• D. Only follow the primary obligation

Answer: (A)

When a worker holds more than one function at a site, each role brings its own safety duties and compliance requirements. You must meet all of them because neglecting any one set of obligations creates gaps in hazard control and accountability. Safety isn’t something you can selectively follow—the controls and procedures from every function must be applied together to keep the work environment safe. Delegating tasks can be appropriate for workload, but it doesn’t remove your responsibility to ensure that all applicable obligations from each function are fulfilled and that those obligations are carried out correctly by others. In practice, that means honoring the requirements tied to each role, applying the relevant risk controls, and coordinating so both sets of duties are satisfied. So, the right approach is to meet all obligations associated with each function you’re performing at the site.
