Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking.

The Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is at the centre of the legislative regime imposed by work health and safety laws. The scope of the duty of care for the PCBU is broad, with the extent of the duty expanding as prosecutions are brought and cases are decided.

This third edition of Due Diligence: Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking explains what those duties now are, ten years and many cases and prosecutions since the commencement of the model work health and safety legislation.

The first book of the Due Diligence series looked at the duty of officers. The fourth book looked at the duty of workers. This book is concerned with the duty of a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), tying together the obligations set out in the second, third and fifth books on incident notification, consultation and dealing with regulators respectively.

The third edition of the Due Diligence series explores recent case law and addresses contemporary work health and safety issues, including the new industrial manslaughter laws and the management of mental health at work.
