N2 - This inaugural issue of the English version
of the Journal of Work Health and Safety
Regulation focuses on one of the most pressing
challenges in work health and safety (WHS)
regulatory policy: how to regulate to ensure
the health and safety of workers undertaking
work allocated through digital platforms across
a range of industrial settings. In addressing
this challenge, this special issue recognizes
that platform mediated gig work (hereafter
“platform work”) is one type of “gig work”
within the broader range of precarious work,
which is strongly linked with exploitative
practices and poor health and safety
outcomes (as elaborated later in this Editors’
Introduction).
