WSH Guideline --WSH Guideline -Delivery Services Industry Scope

This set of guidelines augment the 2018 Guide to Safe Riding, by recommending what delivery companies and intermediaries should do in terms of their systems and infrastructure to improve safety. They are intended to cover delivery work involving both employees and self-employed persons, for both food and non-food products. While riders of two-wheeled vehicles are more susceptible to suffering injuries compared to drivers, most of the guidelines apply to four-wheeled delivery vehicles as well, with the exception of Guideline 4 on No penalty for declining excessive loads 

These guidelines took into account inputs from delivery riders gathered by the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA)5. The riders highlighted that they sometimes rushed to make deliveries to maximise their earnings. This would be especially risky when faced with bad weather conditions, when roads could be slippery, and when handling heavy loads, which could imbalance their two-wheelers.

The guidelines are categorised into three broad factors to address the risks that riders face:

i) Create stronger rider motivation to be safe this would mitigate any inadvertent temptation among riders to rush

ii) Equip riders with the knowledge of how to be safe this is because motivation without capability cannot be put into practice; and

iii) exposure to unsafe situations, such as carrying heavy loads and rushing during bad weather.
