A comprehensive and transferable social service and protection network should be established to create a protection system for workers that is independent of digital platforms. In addition to providing medical care, rehabilitation services, and allowances similar to those offered under work-injury insurance, the identification of work-related injuries should also be optimized. By making use of platform data such as location tracking, a "green channel" could be created to address the difficulties and lengthy processing times involved in work-injury identification.
