Preventing Repetitive Strain Injuries at Work

In her article entitled "Preventing the Number 1 Occupational Health Problem: Repetitive Strain Injuries", author Teresa Long outlines the importance of having and maintaining a proper work station. She claims that it is imperative to have an ergonomically correct work station. By this, Long means that all equipment that will be utilized throughout the day is comfortably positioned to ensure that you do not have to strain, stretch, or twist in a way that could cause pain or injury to the body. Additionally, Long claims that a top priority and task which often goes overlooked when a new employee is hired should be determining whether the work station the employee will be using is ergonomically correct for that employee. Any modifications that need to be made to the work space should be done as soon as possible, as to avoid any injuries.

Long cites OSHA in her claim that repetitive strain injuries are the nation's most common and costly occupational health problem. This type of injury costs roughly $20 billion a year in Workers' Compensation, and billions more in lost productivity and employee turnover, among other things.
