"Commonwealth WHS Act s 27 officer due-diligence duty"
Commonwealth WHS Act 2011 s 27 requires an officer of a PCBU to exercise due diligence to ensure the PCBU complies with its WHS duties and obligations.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Canonical claim: Under the current Commonwealth Work Health and Safety Act 2011 s 27, if a person conducting a business or undertaking has a duty or obligation under the Act, an officer of that PCBU must exercise due diligence to ensure that the PCBU complies. Due diligence includes reasonable steps to keep WHS knowledge up to date, understand operations and hazards, ensure resources and processes to eliminate or minimise risks, ensure processes for incident and hazard information, ensure compliance processes, and verify the use of those resources and processes.
