Intellectual Merit
This research will contribute to the theoretical understanding of safety management in non-traditional work settings. It will identify the unique challenges and barriers faced by transient and gig economy workers, providing insights into effective safety training and management practices tailored to these groups.
Broader Impacts
Improving safety for gig and transient workers can have a significant societal impact, as these workers often lack the protections and support systems available in traditional employment. The research could inform policy changes and the development of targeted safety programs, reducing preventable injuries and fatalities.
