The digital transition is significantly transforming the European economic system, including the emergence of digital labour platforms as new market players. 

EU-OSHA´s approach to digital platform work puts the emphasis on those aspects that are more relevant to occupational safety and health (OSH).

Digital platform workers are exposed to the same risk factors as workers performing the same tasks in the traditional economy. However, such risk factors seem to be aggravated by the way platform work is organised. 

Exposure to physical risk factors depends on whether digital platform work is carried out on-location or online, whereas psychosocial risks and work-related stress is extensively reported in association to any type of platform work.
