Risk factors typical of any workplace persist, such as ergonomic and psychosocial ones, but there are risk factors to study in a home setting. As conclusions, telework must be urgently addressed by the state, strengthening the pertinent labor legislation, addressing health promotion, as well as risk prevention, and implementing measures to mitigate the effects of teleworking, following recommendations made by international organizations, but above all by developing epidemiological surveillance systems that make it possible to avoid the under-notification of cases of diseases and accidents related to telework, which need to be identified, in attention to the maintenance of this modality.
