Digital platform work: 28 million reasons why safety and health policies matter
To understand how recent policy initiatives are shaping the occupational safety and health of digital platform workers, read our policy brief. It examines a range of solutions introduced by countries in the European Union and beyond, and initiatives like the Fairwork project.
