National Safety Principles for Food Delivery Platforms

The following text was taken from National Safety Principles for Food Delivery Platforms:

The signatories have established the Food Delivery Platform National Safety Principles and are committed to promoting the safety of everyone who uses food delivery platforms in Australia. This reflects the work health and safety (WHS) duties that apply across Australia to protect workers and other persons from harm by requiring duty holders to eliminate or minimise risk however they operate their business. These Principles seek to address safety for all who use food delivery platforms to access work, whether they are driving a car or riding a bicycle, e-Bike, scooter or motorbike. Every food delivery platform is different, and these principles are intended to promote a dynamic and competitive industry that puts safety first. The Principles are intended to give effect to how safety duties can be met by food delivery platforms in respect of food delivery platform workers and other persons.

The signatories are committed to continuous improvement and implementing initiatives that reduce the risks associated with online food delivery platform work and to provide protection when incidents occur.
