Repetitive Strain Injury Assessment Tool Download

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) can be caused by:

• Repetitive movements made with the upper body that result in the overuse of muscles and tendons.
• Long shifts of repetitive manual labour with little or no breaks
• Working in an awkward position

All employers have a legal duty to try and prevent repetitive strain injuries from happening, and to ensure that anyone that already has the condition doesn't get any worse.  This means that it is very important to identify areas where tasks are being carried out that could cause RSI, and to risk assess these tasks and implement the necessary precautions to minimise the risk of RSI.
