The NSW Government is set to introduce new laws to improve safety outcomes in the gig economy and food delivery industry.
Minister for Better Regulation Kevin Anderson said the new measures include ensuring riders are provided with personal protective equipment by food delivery platforms, the implementation of compulsory induction training and a new penalty system for riders to crackdown on repeated unsafe practices.
“These laws have come in the wake of a recent education and safety blitz that found continued widespread non-compliance with the state’s road and work health and safety laws,” Mr Anderson said.
