Who would be the beneficiaries of the duty of care of an officer?
The duty of the officer is related to compliance by the person (company, partnership etc) conducting the undertaking (the primary duty holder). The beneficiaries of the officer duty will be the same as the beneficiaries of the duty of care of the company or other entity (the primary duty or the duty of the specified classes of duty holder). For example, visitors, workers and any other person associated with the activity of work at the undertaking would benefit from the positive duty on the officer, as compliance with that duty would ensure compliance with the primary duty.
