A Guide to Managing Work Health and Safety in the Food Delivery Industry by Safework NSW

The following text was taken from A Guide to Managing Work Health and Safety in the Food Delivery Industry by Safework NSW:

The safety of food delivery riders in New South Wales (NSW) is an important focus for both road users and the community. Working on NSW roads can be a high-risk activity, and everyone plays a role in managing the risks that food delivery riders face in their day-to-day work. The main aim of the Act is to protect workers and other persons against harm to their health, safety and welfare. This is achieved through the elimination of risks from the workplace, and if that is not reasonably practicable, the risks must be minimised, as far as is reasonably practicable. This guide is designed to provide information and advice to those engaged in food delivery services including, food delivery platforms, food outlets and food delivery riders, so that they can understand and meet their obligations under Work Health and Safety laws in NSW.
