There are a variety of different types of repetitive strain injuries:

• Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Bursitis
• Tenosynovitis
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
• Trigger Finger
• Tendonitis
• DeQuervain's Syndrome
• Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.

RSI is an injury that occurs when employees are required to repeat the same task, in the same position on a regular basis i.e. using a computer mouse or typing. RSIs can cause damage to muscles, joints and tissues in the hands and arms.

Employers of computer users or anyone whose job puts them at risk of RSI must follow Health & Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations. In addition, all employers are required to undertake risk assessments of their employees under the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations.

It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure staff are aware of RSIs and how to prevent them. The employer should provide ergonomic equipment to those at risk of repetitive strains and train employees on proper posture during work.
