This special issue provides a timely intervention into that debate with this article providing an introductory overview, positioning the articles within a comprehensive literature review of existing scholarship on the gig economy. These articles add to our understanding of the organisation and experience of work in the digitally enabled gig economy in a variety of national settings.

The purpose of the article is to develop practical recommendations on the selection and structuring of educational material for a multimedia and training complex on occupational safety for future civil engineers. 450 people participated in the experimental work: 50 teachers, 400 students of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher education. A survey with open and close questions was used in the research. Later it was analyzed using the methodology of quantitative research. The significance of the results obtained is that the methods of selection of educational material ensure the formation of competences, skills of research activities, practice-oriented orientation and compliance with students' expectations. The identified criteria (knowledge, activity, competence) contribute to the integration of educational material; the formation of knowledge, skills, abilities, competences to ensure occupational safety.
