Food delivery platforms will need to provide workers in NSW with protective equipment and induction training under new proposed safety laws hailed by the state government as the toughest anywhere in Australia., including four in Sydney, put renewed scrutiny on the industry and its working conditions.
A recent education and safety blitz found widespread non-compliance with road and workplace safety laws, NSW Minister for Better Regulation Kevin Anderson said, with almost nine in 10 riders not wearing high-vis clothing.“Enough is enough,” he said in a statement on Saturday. The state government says food delivery platforms have already committed to 50 actions to improve their riders' health and safety as part of the taskforce's work.
“These new laws are not about protecting the most exploited workers in our society. This is a shield for Silicon Valley behemoths and their sham business models which are literally killing riders on our roads,” he said in a statement.
