New tool to evaluate occupational risks for domestic workers

The Ministry of Labor and Social Economy together with the INSST have recently presented the Prevention Tool for Employment at Home  to evaluate the occupational risks of workers in that field, which in our country affects more than 348,000 affiliated women.

This new prevention instrument, free and open access, is available through the Prevention10.es portal and allows employers to comply with their new legal obligations.

First of all, a document is obtained with the evaluation of risks in the home, the preventive measures that must be implemented and the information materials that must be delivered to the workers. The system also allows you to record the dates of establishment of each measure and track its compliance and Once the risk assessment has been carried out, the necessary preventive measures must be implemented to eliminate or reduce the risks detected so that it will be available within six months.

With this measure, which does not generate economic or bureaucratic burdens for employers, compliance is given to Royal Decree 893/2024, which regulates the protection of safety and health in the field of family home service.

The Prevention10.es portal includes, in addition to the tool, a section of specific resources dedicated to the service of the family home, with explanatory materials on occupational risk prevention adapted for this group. Likewise, it offers a free telephone service to answer questions: 913 63 43 00, available Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
