A questionnaire based on a Likert scale was designed and applied, which evaluated four key dimensions: sociodemographic data, intra-work factors, extra-work factors and stress. The data collection was carried out with the collaboration of the workers on a voluntary basis, thanks to the support ofthe president ofthe fair. The results reveal that 48% of informal workers present high or very high levels of exposure to psychosocial risks, highlighting job insecurity, insufficient income and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, 40% experience social isolation and 38% face physical health problems associated with unfavorable working conditions. Six main dimensions of risks were identified: occupational, economic, psychological, social, physical and organizational, with the lack of access to mental health services being a critical problem for 45% of those surveyed.

Due to this new modality, there have been several inconveniences in the teachers' routine, for which it has been decided to carry out this work through a correlational analysis of the surveys applied to the teachers, showing several results that were analyzed and interpreted in order to obtain values and make decisions about the possible actions to face these risks. Once the research is completed, with data established under standardized parameters, it can be confirmed that the new telework model recurs as a direct condition in the appearance of psychosocial risks in the teachers of the Educational Unit. Through this, a proposal will be used on the activities that will be applied to teachers to minimize the impact of the use of new technologies, thus eliminating risks until they can resume face-to-face educational activities. To conclude, one of the main recommendations is to train teaching staff with friendly techniques and methods on the use of new technologies, digital platforms, electronic connection equipment and social networks, through which they can obtain adequate knowledge, thus turning weaknesses into strengths. and thus achieving the elimination of psychosocial risks.
