This is because workers sustain these injuries by gripping, holding, bending, twisting, clenching, typing, lifting, pushing, pulling and reaching. While these ordinary movements are not particularly harmful in someone’s everyday life, what does make them hazardous in work situations is the continual repetition of the movements.</p> <h2><strong>Addressing the issue</strong></h2> <p>CCOHS shared the following tips to help employers ensure their workers do not get RSI;</p> <p>Eliminate hazards at the source: “Identifying hazards associated with tasks and activities that may lead to repetitive strain injury is the first step,” said MacLeod. “Supervisors, health and safety committees and workers need to work collaboratively to identify and assess these hazards and risks.”</p> <p>Factors to look out for include: </p> </div> </div> <section class="wrapper-fluid"> <div class="ad-wrapper-1"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1740482211376-3"><script>googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1740482211376-3'); });</script></div> </div> </section> <div class="wrapper wrapper--detail"> <div class="wrapper--detail__body"> <ul> <li>repetitive movements</li> <li>awkward postures</li> <li>overexertion</li> <li>excessive force</li> <li>compression</li> <li>vibration which all lead to increased wear and tear on the body's tissues. </li> <li>frequency, intensity and duration of activities</li> <li>stress</li> <li>fatigue</li> </ul> <p>“And once the hazards and risks have been identified, control measures can be implemented to protect workers from these injuries,” said MacLeod.</p> <p>Some control measures include eliminating high tasks or movements by changing how the work is done or through automation with technology and mechanical devices, he said.</p> <p>Create a well-designed workstation: The design of workers’ workstation is also critical in preventing RIS, said MacLeod.</p> <p>“Provide tools and equipment that are well maintained, including mechanical lifting aids. These can reduce the force needed to complete tasks and prevent muscle strain or awkward postures. And make changes to how the work is done to minimize risks to workers. This may include job rotation. </p> <p>“Another example is distributing work evenly among the team members to ensure workers have enough time for rest and recovery.”</p> </div> </div> <section class="wrapper-fluid"> <div class="ad-wrapper-1"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1740482211376-4"><script>googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1740482211376-4'); });</script></div> </div> </section> <div class="wrapper wrapper--detail"> <div class="wrapper--detail__body"> <p>Preventing the overuse and continuous strain on the same muscles is also critical, he said.</p> <p>Educate and train: “Because these injuries do develop slowly and over time.
