La pandemia motivada por la Covid-19 ha tenido importantes repercusiones en el ámbito laboral destacando la rápida generalización del teletrabajo que ha supuesto una transformación organizativa en muchas empresas y que se ha justificado tanto como un medio de contención de la pandemia como fórmula una para el mantenimiento del empleo. El aumento de esta modalidad está relacionado directamente con una serie de medidas extraordinarias adoptadas por el Estado y las Administraciones Autonómicas que han posibilitado el uso del teletrabajo como modelo de desarrollo de la actividad laboral. No obstante, el impulso de este modelo de actividad laboral exige una respuesta del legislador y agentes sociales para nivelar derechos y obligaciones; entre ellos los de seguridad y salud en el trabajo.
The pandemic motivated by Covid-19 has had important repercussions in the workplace, highlighting the rapid generalization of teleworking that has led to an organizational transformation in many companies and that has been justified both as a means of containing the pandemic and as a formula to keep employment.
The increase in this modality is directly related to a series of extraordinary measures adopted by the State and the Autonomous Administrations that have made it possible to use telework as a model for the development of work activity.
However, the promotion of this model of work activity requires a response from the legislator and social agents to balance rights and obligations, including occupational health and safety. In particular, Royal Decree-Law 8/2020 and Royal Decree-Law 28/2020 refer to the prevention of occupational risks. In this context, this study addresses how the business response should be to comply with its obligation of safety and health at work.
