Understanding Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)

Repetitive Strain Injuries, often referred to as RSIs, are a group of musculoskeletal disorders caused by the repetitive use of specific body parts or poor ergonomics (Meaning: Ergonomics involves studying individuals in their work environment, with a focus on designing or adapting work conditions to better suit the worker, rather than the reverse.) in the workplace.

These injuries commonly affect the wrists, hands, shoulders, neck and back. A broader classification encompassing injuries that gradually develops over time, such as hearing loss due to repeated exposure to high noise levels.

This is where workers compensation insurance becomes necessary. It is a legally mandated insurance program in India, provides financial assistance to employees who have sustained work-related injuries or illnesses, including RSIs. This compensation is intended to cover medical expenses, loss of wages and rehabilitation costs, ensuring that injured workers receive the necessary support for their recovery.

The Role of Ergonomics in RSI Prevention

Preventing RSIs is always better than seeking compensation after the fact. Many RSIs can be prevented through proper ergonomics in the workplace. Employers should invest in ergonomic furniture, tools, and training to reduce the risk of these injuries among their workforce.
