Yes.

Indeed,... unless you can break them of the habit of merging master into
the feature branch before merging with master...?

If they always merge from the feature branch into master and then push,
they will be safe.  They can merge back from master after they have
successfully pushed master.

But the safest will always be not to worry about the linearity of the
mainline.
