"Commonwealth WHS Act s 32 Category 2 failure-to-comply offence"

Canonical Claim

Commonwealth WHS Act 2011 s 32 creates a Category 2 offence where a person with a health and safety duty fails to comply with that duty and the failure exposes an individual to a risk of death or serious injury or illness.

Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.

Consensus Frontier

⚑ held by convention · challengeable

This claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.

Verified against Federal Register Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth). s 32 (Category 2) covers a failure to comply with an HS duty where the failure exposes an individual to a risk of death or serious injury or illness; strict liability as to risk element. Canonical claim accurate.
