The gig economy presents unique challenges for life science shippers, who handle critical pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare supplies. These shipments require specialized care, yet gig-based delivery models often lack the necessary training, expertise, and accountability to meet such stringent demands.
Independent contractors may struggle to maintain the consistency and quality required for time-sensitive and delicate Life Science shipments. Gig workers often lack the training to handle strict regulatory requirements, such as temperature control and chain-of-custody protocols. The gig model's contractor classification complicates liability and corrective action when errors occur.
By prioritizing tailored training, clear protocols, and strategic partnerships, Life Science shippers can mitigate risks and maintain the safety and integrity of their shipments.
Final Mile Flash sessions are quick, 20-minute sessions, and take place in the exhibit hall.
