The aim of the article is to reflect the situation regarding the problems in creating a labour protection system for the new forms of employment in Latvia. It is concluded that in Latvia, as in the rest of Europe, there is no common understanding of what new forms of employment are, nor do the regulatory enactments specifically define what training and instruction procedures are in the field of labour protection at the moment. The research conducted by the authors shows that interest in and understanding of labour protection is low, and people do not know where they can gain information. As a result of the research it was found that people are not ready to invest money in establishing the labour protection system due to the fact that labour protection is perceived as a formal and unnecessary activity. The authors suggest that greater attention should be paid to this issue, particularly taking into account that, in the current digital era, new forms of employment continue developing, while the literature and research available at the moment at a Latvian and European level are insufficient.
