The paper examines the complex relationship between technology and occupational health and safety in collective bargaining, highlighting several crucial aspects for the protection of workers. First, the introduction of digital media in the workplace, which will require the adoption of preventive measures related to adequate and sufficient information and training and consultation with legal representatives prior to implementation and on the proper use of the devices. Secondly, the right to digital disconnection and the necessary policies to ensure quality rest time to allow the worker to recover from work and to reconcile, as well as actions aimed at training, prohibiting and sanctioning attitudes that aim at permanent connection; third, the protection of such precious assets in teleworking and the protection of workers' health and safety at work. Thirdly, protection of such precious assets in teleworking, where the few agreements that do include clauses detailing, among others, obligations and responsibilities, the provision of equipment and associated costs, workspace ergonomics, mandatory training and, most controversially, privacy at home. Finally, cyberbullying, where the protocols establish disciplinary measures and aim to promote a safe and healthy working environment, adapted to the challenges of remote working in today's digital context.
