 If you are an Assembler or Machine Operator, the nature of your job is essentially repetitive. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) are often the result. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2002 study rated Assemblers as having the highest number of RSI events, followed by Cashiers, Secretaries, and General Office Clerks.
Repetitive stress injuries are caused by:
- uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion
- unnatural motions such as twisting the arm or wrist
- overexertion
- incorrect posture
- muscle fatigue
Repetitive stress injuries occur in the:
- wrists
- hands
- fingers
- thumbs
- elbows
- shoulders
- back
- knees
- neck
- hips
- feet
Even though the damage done by repetitive motion is progressive, it is
nonetheless a work related injury. If you are suffering from RSI, seek
prompt medical care and consult with an attorney to understand your
rights. The law as it applies to RSIs can be complicated, and the
various deadlines can be difficult to understand. That is why obtaining
advice from an attorney knowledgeable about Ohio workers’ compensation
claims is crucial to your case.
