This paper investigates the impact of teleworkability on commuting accidents by leveraging the pandemic-induced shift toward remote work. Using administrative accident records from Spain (2016–2023) and a difference-in-differences framework, we find that teleworkable occupations experienced a significant 39.4% reduction in commuting accidents post-pandemic relative to non-teleworkable ones. Heterogeneous analysis shows that this effect raises to 52.5% on days with temperatures below 0?C.
