Posted workers in the framework of a transnational provision of services face specific risks that must be taken into account to provide protection to the affected workers. Although they are not risks directly linked to the work to be carried out by the posted worker, they are risks related to the circumstances and environment of the country of destination, where the worker faces a new context, in health conditions, road safety, social and meteorological conditions different from those in the country of origin. To these conditions should be added the risks of a psychosocial nature due largely to the differences in preventive culture between the countries of origin and destination and the cultural and linguistic barrier. In addition, the time in which the worker is posted under the terms of article 2.1 of Law 45/1999 must be considered a mission assignment in preventive terms. Consequently, in the event of an accident, the presumption that it involves time and place of work is extended, without the accident having to meet the requirements of an accident on the way to and from work. The relevance of considering an accident as an accident on mission is not exhausted with the determination of the contingency as a professional, and therefore of the corresponding provision by the Social Security system; since from this concept the content of the company’s preventive obligation is determined, which sends workers to another country to provide a certain service.
