Repetitive Strain Injury Prevention

Education and behavior modification are the first steps.

Pounding away on a keyboard. Clicking over the Internet. Sitting hunched over a laptop. These activities place your employees at risk for repetitive strain injuries (RSI).

Carpal tunnel syndrome dominates the press, but RSI’s attack the muscles and soft tissue of the back, neck, shoulder, and arms. RSI’s are the price employees pay for their company’s technological progress. Education and behavior modification is the first step toward preventing these types of injuries in your workplace.

• OSHA studies find that RSI’s account for 34% of all lost workdays due to injury or illness.
  
  
• RSI’s claim $1 out of every $3 spent for workers compensation.
  
  
• Total annual RSI costs exceed $60 billion.
  
  
• RSI’s are the fastest growing workplace injuries in the country.
