text: Triggered by developments in digital and communication technologies, several new types of mobile 
  work have developed. In principle, the place of work can be anywhere, in a car, train, hotel, at the 
  premises of other employers, at remote office-like locations, or at the client’s workplace or at private 
  homes of clients; it is not ‘place-bound’. Most of this mobile work still takes place in the contractual form 
  of regular employment, but mobile work is also a major field for many new forms of new work contracts, 
  triggered by the technological possibilities. 
  
  **Traditional home-based work**consists of the production of small goods that — from a technical point 
  of view — can be produced in private homes (clothes, artisan work and very repetitive work like sorting). 
  This work is performed for an enterprise or a person contracted by the enterprise for the organisation of 
  home-based work and is located at the homes of the workers. It might require extra technical equipment, 
  but sometimes usual private equipment is sufficient. The traditional home-based work very probably has 
  decreased to a low level, the quantity of this type of home-based work is not monitored at EU level.81 
  Regulation of OSH for such home-based work has a long tradition in OSH legislation, mostly aimed at 
  achieving working conditions as similar as possible to the other employees in an enterprise, regarding 
  wages, social protection, and safety and health.
