If your company uses remote work, there is an important update you can’t ignore.
With the entry into force of Law 34/2026, smart working officially becomes part of workplace health and safety regulations in a much stricter way.
An obligation that until yesterday existed mostly on paper has now been incorporated into the Consolidated Law on Workplace Safety and is subject to penalties. In practical terms: providing information on the risks related to remote work is now a concrete responsibility for employers.
What changes for companies
Until now, many companies managed this topic as a mere formal requirement. From today, the situation is different. Employers must:
provide written information on the risks related to remote work
deliver it at least once a year to both the employee and the Workers’ Safety Representative (RLS)
update it according to working conditions.
And most importantly, failure to provide this documentation may result in penalties.
👉 Imprisonment from 2 to 4 months
👉 Or a fine of up to €7,403.96
The law highlights something that already exists: many employees work from home without adequate conditions, meaning with improvised workstations, unsuitable environments, and unchecked equipment.
The regulation clearly states that employers must guarantee safety even outside the office, through proper information and prevention.
From the Law to Nodey
So, should flexible work be avoided? Absolutely not! Flexible work brings unmatched benefits in terms of wellbeing, work-life balance, and motivation. Don’t give it up! What you really need is:
- professional workspaces ready to use
- distributed across the territory
- accessible whenever needed
- aligned with safety standards.
