Abstract

In this article will outline the main regulatory developments affecting domestic workers, which have had an impact on occupational risk prevention. From the year 2022 to the present date, a series of events have taken place that have laid the foundations that have influenced some important regulatory changes in relation to the prevention of occupational risks for the group of domestic workers. The first of these was the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of February 24, 2022 on case C-389, which would serve to change some aspects and would end up fully affecting the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks (hereinafter, LPRL). As a result of all this, some reflections will be made on the current situation of domestic workers as regards the level of protection offered to them to date by the LPRL.
