New statutory protections for platform workers under the Platform Workers Act are now reflected in national safety statistics.

Following the commencement of the Platform Workers Act on 1 January 2025, the Ministry of Manpower has begun including non-fatal injury data for platform workers in its annual reports. This allows for the monitoring of injury rates specifically for this group, which recorded a high rate of 84.6 per 100,000 workers in 2025.

Why it mattersLawyers handling personal injury or employment matters should note the expanded scope of injury reporting and the specific statutory protections now applicable to platform workers.
