Objective. To analyze postural hygiene issues and the limited adoption of active breaks among teleworkers, within the context of the transformation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) toward home-based work environments. Method. A qualitative descriptive study based on a literature review of public health and digital health research lines related to telework and biomechanical risks. Results. The shift to home-based work has increased exposure to ergonomic risks due to inadequate furniture and prolonged static postures. Additionally, digital sedentarism and weak active break practices contribute to a higher incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusions. 
Telework represents an emerging public health challenge, as it affects not only workers’ physical well-being but also economic outcomes through increased occupational morbidity and associated healthcare costs.
