Corporate liability for workplace safety offences can extend to persons in charge unless due diligence is proved. Liability for offences under the Code extends to the company and the person in charge of its business, who is deemed guilty unless he proves lack of knowledge or that he exercised all due diligence to prevent the offence. If an offence is committed with the consent, connivance or attributable to neglect of a director, manager, company secretary or other officer, that officer is deemed guilty. 'Company' includes bodies corporate, firms and associations, and 'director' encompasses partners, specified owners and members of associations.
