  work, etc.), plus the rapid spread of remote office work in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One 
  major difficulty for risk prevention is to determine how far safety and health at these workplaces might 
  deviate from the OSH requirements of a conventional workplace in an office building or an industrial 
  plant, regarding topics like ergonomic and safe equipment, space, ventilation, daylight, electrical and 
  fire safety, emergency procedures and so on. 
  
  **Globalisation**
  
  Over the last decades, production and services have become less and less solely based on national 
  (pre-)products or service suppliers and instead on international supply chains. Digitalisation facilitates 
  the**globalisation of services**that do not require personal presence.**International supply chains**
  require logistics connections between countries and continents, harmonised technical standards, and, 
  as far as possible, common legal rules, standards and agreements, be they for services or materials 
  and products. The development of such supply chains divides the necessary work related to a product 
  or a service in parts, which might also mean**that OSH risks might not be shared in a fair or equal**
  **way**. 
  
  In industry, a relevant part of outsourcing to less-developed countries**took place in sectors with high**
  **OSH risks**: mining, metallurgic processes, treatment of hazardous waste, basic chemicals and textiles. 
  At the same time, EU enterprises ‘import’ risks by producing goods for export (e.g. vehicles, machines, 
  food, specialty chemicals). A full assessment of the division of OSH risks would require a case-by-case
