Brazil faces a major difficulty in measuring the number of accidents involving app-based delivery workers, due to the absence of official data that allows identifying whether an injured person was working at the time of the incident.
The main obstacle to measuring the risks faced by this category is the lack of registration mechanisms that distinguish delivery workers from other workers or ordinary civilians when they suffer accidents.
Without this separation in the data, it becomes impossible to have reliable statistics on the number of accidents suffered by these professionals, which hinders the creation of public policies and specific interventions to protect this class of workers.
The absence of precise information prevents authorities and companies from understanding the real dimension of the dangers faced daily by delivery workers who work for digital platforms in the country.
