possibly force employers to engage in such safety precautions. The

responsibility of providing payment for work is the only act which must be taken

on by the employer after they have given the warnings about the dangers of

mining. The rest of the responsibility lies in the hands of the miners who hold

the power to decide where they work.

The final case regarding responsibility of actions lies on a private

road which warns individuals of falling rocks. The sign posted at the beginning

of the road clearly states any dangers and makes the reader aware of the

apparent risks. The fundamental obligation of the road is similar to that of

the airplane in that it must provide a means for transportation from point A to

point B. However, the road differs from the plane in that the person driving is

in control of the situation at all times, and never gives up control over their

actions. The speed of travel, length of stay on the road, and the decision to

travel on the road are all decisions made by the individual and have a direct

effect on the safety of the individual. In this case the driver becomes

responsible for his actions on the road. The owner of the road met the

requirements set upon him by providing means of transport and warning of any

danger; all other responsibility lies in the able hands of the individual

driving the automobile.

The responsibility of any given action remains in the hands of those in

control of the action at any given time. As seen in the airplane and cigarette

examples, proper warning does not warrant lack of responsibility if the

individual holds no control over the outcome of the action. The mining company

and private road examples show how responsibility lies in the hands of the

individual as long as control over the situation is also controlled by the

individual. It is clear to see that responsibility for any given action remains

in the hands of those who hold control over the situation.
