Repetitive Strain Injury Claims
Have you suffered some form of repetitive strain injury at work due to the negligence of your employer? If you have, you may be eligible to make repetitive strain injury claims. Repetitive strain injury or RSI affects a large number of people every year in the UK in a wide range of employment. This kind of industrial disease occurs as a result of repetitive physical movements of the hands, wrists and fingers causing damage to the nerves, tendons and muscles.
When work is repetitive such as typing for long hours, the same group of muscles is continuously used during the course of the day. Prolonged repetition without taking adequate breaks result in energy depletion and build up of metabolic wastes. This in turn causes muscle fatigue and over a period of time gives rise to repetitive strain injuries. The most common types of RSI include Vibration White Finger, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and tendonitis.
Employers Liability
Employers have a duty to ensure that their workers are protected from all risks of injuries, illnesses and diseases. Employers should make sure that safety measures are in place to prevent workers from contracting any form of industrial diseases. The duty of employers includes:
- carrying out workplace risk assessments
- ensuring that tools, equipments and machinery used at the workplace are maintained in safe conditions
- ensuring workers take adequate breaks in order to prevent them from contracting repetitive strain injury
- ensuring there is adequate protection to workers
- ensuring that workers are given proper training so they can carry out their tasks safely and effectively
If your employer has failed in his duty of care and you have suffered repetitive strain injury as a result, you may be entitled to seek compensation.
