Many studies nowadays focus on taking stock of the platform economy in Europe (e.g., investigating its magnitude, business models, career and job characteristics of workers, ...), surprisingly the occupational safety and health (OSH) implications of platform work have remained largely under the radar. Against this background, the proposed project aims to (i) investigate the OSH risks and regulations of platform work and (ii) provide recommendations to foster a safe and healthy occupational environment for platform workers in European countries based on the results of this study. Pursuing these aims, the project adopts a mixed-method study design organised into two work packages (WP) and involves platform workers living in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. WP1 will consist in a European mixed-method cohort of platform workers. WP1 will explore longitudinally ways in which platform work is associated with OSH-risks and poor health and the experiences of platform workers in regard to OSH of their jobs. WP2 aims to research ways for promoting changes for safer and healthier occupationalenvironments for platform work. For doing so, WP2 will explore how do platform work managers perceive the OSH of employees/workers, what are the characteristics of platforms that maintain a healthy work environment and what are the regulatory contexts and challenges in terms of OSH posed by platform of work. Both WPs will explore similarities and differences across countries and forms of platform work, thereby contextualising the findings about health and platform work within different regulatory environments. The expected results of this project will provide new and original scientific understanding of an understudied and evolving challenge for the future world of work. Drawing on the new scientific understanding, the project will provide new guidance for policymakers, companies and trade unions to protect the health of the European workforce.

如今，许多研究专注于库存欧洲的平台经济（例如，调查其规模，商业模式，职业和工人的工作特征，...），令人惊讶的是，平台工作的职业安全与健康（OSH）的影响仍然存在大部分在雷达下。在此背景下，拟议的项目旨在（i）根据本研究的结果，调查平台工作的OSH风险和法规，（ii）提供建议，为欧洲国家的平台工人提供安全健康的职业环境。为了实现这些目标，该项目采用了混合方法研究设计，该研究设计成两个工作包（WP），并涉及居住在比利时，丹麦，芬兰，波兰，西班牙，瑞典和英国的平台工人。 WP1将包括欧洲混合方法的平台工人队列。 WP1将探讨平台工作与OSH风险和健康状况不佳以及平台工人在工作中的工作的经验相关的纵向方式。 WP2旨在研究促进平台工作更安全，更健康的职业环境的变化的方法。为此，WP2将探索平台工作经理如何感知员工/工人的OSH，这些平台的特征是维持健康的工作环境的特征，以及由工作平台所带来的OSH的监管环境和挑战。两种WP都将探索各个国家和平台工作形式的相似性和差异，从而使有关健康和平台在不同监管环境中工作的发现背景。该项目的预期结果将为对未来工作世界的研究和不断发展的挑战提供新的和原始的科学理解。利用新的科学理解，该项目将为政策制定者，公司和工会提供新的指导，以保护欧洲劳动力的健康。
