Public Consultation for Code of Practice for Platform Services

04 Sep 2024 Announcements

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act imposes duties on platform operators and platform workers to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety, health and welfare of platform workers who provide platform services for them. 

To provide clarity on and strengthen ownership of platform operators’ and platform workers’ WSH responsibilities, the WSH Council is developing the Code of Practice for Platform Services. This Code of Practice provides recommendations on what platform operators in the ride-hail and delivery services sectors should do to improve the safety, health, and welfare of platform workers, while considering the unique features of platform work. It also provides guidance to strengthen the financial protection for platform workers in the event of work-related injury.

We invite industry stakeholders and members of the public to share your feedback on the draft Code of Practice for Platform Services before it is finalised and gazetted. Please email the completed public consultation form to contact@wshc.sg by 30 September 2024.
