Teletrabalho e a Proteção à Saúde do Trabalhador no Pós-Pandemia: lacunas normativas, fiscalização e desafios jurídicos.

Abstract

This article analyzes the challenges of applying occupational medicine and safety standards in the home office regime in Brazil, with a focus on the post-pandemic period. The research is justified by the insufficiency of current legislation to address the complex issues generated by the massive adoption of remote work, including the protection of workers' physical and mental health. The objective is to understand how Brazilian legislation and inspection mechanisms have dealt with existing normative and institutional gaps. To this end, the study employs a hypothetical deductive method, using a qualitative and quantitative method for data analysis, using bibliographic research on the Federal Constitution of 1988, the CLT, and the Regulatory Standards (NRs), with the analysis of secondary statistical data from sources such as the Ministry of Labor and Employment, IBGE, and ILO. The conclusion points to the need for a more robust and effective legal framework that ensures the comprehensive protection of workers in an increasingly flexible and home-based work environment, highlighting the urgency of public policies and inspection mechanisms adapted to this new reality.
