The introduction of new information and communication technologies (ICT) into labor relations, led to new ways of working. For instance, remote work has been enabled by advances in digital development that narrowed down distance allowing workers to communicate and perform tasks from nearly anywhere (Ciccarelli, 2022). The different types of ICT-enabled remote work, are giving rise to new challenges in terms of occupational safety and health (OSH) management. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an acceleration in the digitalization of the work (Baig et al. 2020), and brought to light the need to OSH practitioners pay more attention to occupational risks linked with this type of work, particularly psychosocial risks.
