The safety of riders is a priority for us. Deliveroo couriers are never obliged to go online. Riders can stay offline or unassign themselves from an order at any time.
We're having some record breaking temperatures in Belgium this week. We wanted to remind you of a couple of things that will help keep you safe and comfortable if you choose to ride:
- Make sure you have a water bottle with you. You can locate the nearest drinking fountains to fill your water bottle via a free app: Water-Map. Download it via these links: Apple Store, Play Store.
- Wear appropriate sun clothes such as your breathable Deliveroo t-shirt.
- Scope out a shady spot, or somewhere with air con to rest between orders.
- Don’t forget your sun cream either.
- Wear a cap if you are waiting for an order outside to avoid sunstroke.
- Your phone battery will also drain faster in hot weather, so a battery pack may be a good idea.
- If you feel unwell, stop riding, find a fresh spot and seek for assistance if needed.
