This report explores how modern workplace trends—like temporary hiring, frequent role rotations, and outsourcing—can undermine occupational safety by compromising employee training and integration into company safety norms. Combining statistical and qualitative insights, it highlights a clear link between workforce flexibility and increased accident rates. It advocates for turning safety into a strategic priority, recommending stronger preventive training, leadership that visibly models safety, inclusive onboarding for temporary staff, and positive, practice-oriented communication to cultivate a robust safety culture.
