Abstract:
The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has tested our current National Occupational Safety and Health System. The pandemic, managed from the public health Administration sector, has directly affected the world of work. Therefore, the management of this contingency has demanded a joint and agile response from two areas, public health and occupational health, and has proved its indissoluble nature. This article analyzes the main activities carried out in the labor context to fight against COVID-19 in order to identify the best tools to integrate the measures defined by the competent public health authorities in the occupational safety and health management. Likewise, this article shows the vision of the main international organizations about the relationship between the pandemic and the safety and health at work.
