In Victorian OHS law when a 'body corporate' gets charged, they normally also give the same charge to a 'natural person' as it is deemed that the 'body corporate' doesn't have a mind of its own so they charge the 'natural person' as well. I do say normally, but not always
So the outcome would be that ABC Engineering (body corporate) gets charged and Bill ABC (natural person) will get the same charge. Normally in this situation the natural person is someone high up in the body corporate
