What is an advantage of PSP (Project Safety Plan)?

• A. It eliminates all hazards
• B. It assigns responsibilities to work site parties
• C. It guarantees zero incidents
• D. It replaces the need for safety inspections

Answer: (B)

Assigning responsibilities to work site parties is the key advantage of a Project Safety Plan. The plan clearly spells out who is responsible for identifying hazards, implementing controls, providing training, conducting inspections, and reporting or correcting safety issues. When roles are explicitly defined for the owner, designers, contractors, site supervisors, and safety personnel, everyone knows what is expected of them and accountability is built in. This coordination helps ensure that safety actions are not overlooked and that risk control measures are applied consistently across the project.

While the plan outlines how safety will be managed, it does not eliminate hazards by itself, and it cannot guarantee zero incidents. Nor does it replace the need for ongoing safety inspections; inspections are still essential to verify that controls are in place and functioning and to catch new or evolving hazards.
