A worker has died in the course of carrying out work for a PCBU in Queensland. The WHS (Industrial Manslaughter) Amendment Act 2017 creates an indictable offence for a PCBU or senior officer whose negligent conduct causes the death. Maximum penalty is 20 years' imprisonment for individuals or $15m for bodies corporate. CMSHA 1999 s 34 carves out coal mines into the parallel CMSHA regime.
