Abstract

Telecommuting is part of the technological and digital transformation by which our country and the world in general. The importance and novelty of this research work is that more and more companies and workers decide to opt for a provision of services legally linked to "remote work" and, consequently, there are also greater doubts about how the different obligations should be managed in the field of occupational risk prevention. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the risks inherent in teleworking in the private sector, warn about business obligations in terms of occupational health and safety, and determine the basic preventive measures and actions to avoid them, as it is important that both employers and workers have a clear perception of the risks involved in this type of work and how to prevent them. To do this, in the development of this research, a bibliographic search was carried out with supporting documents on the prevention of occupational risks in teleworking. Subsequently, it was collected in international research to find out the differences that exist in developed and developing countries about the prevention of occupational risks in telework and thus be able to structure a theoretical and practical basis that avoids risks in this work modality. Finally, proposals were made that include basic action measures to prevent occupational risks in teleworking in the private sector.
