Having worked the first post after pit exit at Brands for FIA standard meetings, if I saw the safety car coming on track but without the SC board and yellows at start line, then I'd assume that the person on post with the radio had not heard the call (or the call had not yet been made by control) - but my post would get a yellow and SC board out as soon as possible.
So I reckon the answer is still maybe not..

BTW, how long will the FIA's man have us practicing safety car procedure at Brands in 2 months? (us = marshals/safety car driver/local race control)
My money would be on 3 sessions...
