The contractor is vicariously liable for your actions, but the contractor may then chose to sue you.

If you are working as an employee and receive wages with tax deductions and receive a W2 form then the contractor is responsible for the project. However, many contractors hire what is known as contract laborers. Contract laborers are just that, laborers under a contract to perform a service as part of an overall project, ie: the contractor may higher a contract laborer to just install Sheetrock or to just do plumbing. Contract laborers usually do not receive hourly wage but a flat rate for the job. If the contract laborer ruins a portion of the project then the contract laborer is responsible.

If the what ever has gone wrong is your fault then you are responsible. If it is something out of your hands then the Main Contractor is responsible.

If you are EMPLOYED by the contractor then its down to them.....but i wouldn't hold out for a christmas bonus this year.
If you are sub-contracted and the failed work falls in your scope then its down to you.
A H&S error could be down to you, it all depends on the situation.
