Summary: The maintenance of a healthy labor environment becomes a complex theme when the work for hire occurs in the worker’s residence. The home office, which is one of diverse modes of telework, grows due to, first, the advance of globalization and, second, necessity of flexibilization of rules related to the work hiring. The current Brazilian legislation, as precarious as it is, is extremely necessary and important, mainly about to the health and security of this worker that will be working outside the enterprise’s labor environment. Besides, it is passible of discussion about the theme for the disposition brought by Law no. 13,467/2017 (Laboral Reform), which disposes the insertion of an exclusive chapter about telework and its peculiarities, among which there are considerations about the labor environment and the endeavor to reduce the risks of labor accident and occupational disease. Considering that the telework, in general, is done at the worker’s residence (pointing that it is not the rule), it is natural that the wondering about the inspection, by the hirer, of the labor environment (even as a form of reducing or exempting of eventual responsibility in case of accident or disease of the employee). It concludes by the sense in which, despite it is not disposed in the new legal text, the hirer’s control of the labor environment follows being needed to employee’s right to health and to hirer’s right to evidence. The present study resorted on the deductive method of approach, with historical, comparative and structuralist proceedings and logical-systematic interpretation.
