Implied Duty in legal interpretation and construction of statutes refers to something that is inferred; you have to read between the lines to understand the duty or obligation. This means that the duty is not explicitly stated in the statute but can be understood based on the context, purpose, and intention behind the law. It involves interpreting the law beyond its literal wording to grasp the underlying obligations or responsibilities imposed by the statute. It is important for legal professionals, including safety professionals, to be able to identify and understand implied duties to ensure compliance and promote safety within the workplace.

Option A is incorrect because Implied Duty is not explicitly stated in the statute (law) in black and white.

Option C is incorrect because Implied Duty is not the main premises of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation.

Option D is incorrect because Implied Duty does not specifically refer to fairness in different forms of justice, but rather to obligations that are inferred and not explicitly stated in the statute.
