Security and Privacy Respect in Domestic Work
This article of the National Collective Agreement for Domestic Work emphasizes the right of workers to a safe, healthy, and violence or harassment-free work environment.
The regulations require employers to maintain electrical systems in compliance with safety standards, including the installation of life-saving differential switches. Furthermore, there is a requirement for transparency regarding potential risks in the work environment, including those arising from the use of modern equipment and exposure to harmful agents.
Particular attention is paid to privacy, limiting the installation of audiovisual equipment in the worker's private areas and regulating the handling of collected information. The document highlights the joint commitment of social partners to prevent and combat all forms of violence and harassment, in line with international standards. These provisions ensure a dignified work environment, respectful of the individual and their privacy.
Art.28 Protection of Working Conditions
1. Every worker has the right to a safe and healthy working environment, based on current legislation, regarding domestic environments. To this end, the employer will be required to ensure the presence of an adequate circuit breaker, the so-called salvavita, on the electrical system.
2. The employer must inform the worker about any existing risks in the working environment, including the use of equipment, telecommunication and robotic tools, and exposure to particular chemical, physical, and biological agents.
3. Information will be provided at the time of assignment or subsequent change of duties, through the delivery of a specific document that will be prepared by the sector-specific bilateral body – Ebincolf.
4. The employer has the right to install audiovisual systems within the home.
5. The existence or installation of these systems must be communicated in writing to the worker beforehand and are in any case prohibited in the accommodation reserved for the worker under Article 36, paragraph 2, as well as in sanitary facilities.
6. The images and information collected by audiovisual systems must be handled in compliance with the current legislation on personal data processing. Joint declaration Since violence and even sexual harassment in domestic workplaces constitute abuse and violation of human rights, the Social Partners signing this CCNL agree to promote initiatives, also through bilateral bodies, in order to prevent and combat such unacceptable and incompatible conduct with respect for the human person, whether directed against the worker or towards the employer or his/her family members, as provided for by the ILO Convention No. 190 of 2019 and the ILO Recommendation No. 206 of 2019.
