Abstract

This article addresses the issue of occupational risks that arise under the new distribution modalities via application in the current context of Industry 4.0, with special emphasis on the Peruvian case. Thus, the study aims to demonstrate the urgent need to regulate the protection of riders against the occupational risks that arise in this new modality, regardless of their recognition as subordinate or autonomous work. Indeed, the problem of riders in Peru has as its core point being an activity that is not protected by Labor Law, as it is not considered as subordinate work. Similarly, at the national level there are no jurisprudential pronouncements on this problem. In terms of safety and health at work in Peru, due to its location in a gray area of ​​labor law, its protection against risks is extremely limited. Thus, the need for a special regulation that includes the protection of riders against the new occupational risks that are generated with the implementation of new technologies in the context of Industry 4.0.
