Are mobile working patterns contributing to an increase in repetitive strain injury?
In the news a couple of days ago they reported that more people use their smart phones and tablets to access the web than they do their PC or Laptop.
I then found an article on disability technology, by ergonomics expert Robin Christopherson which asks “Are mobile working patterns contributing to an increase in repetitive strain injury?”
I have put a link to it here as it is as it looks at what employers can do to tackle the problem.

The two HSE cases this week both look at tragic accidents that shouldn’t have happened
- One of their workers, aged 48 at time of incident, was caught in the blast and suffered life changing injuries when he was blinded in his left eye and lost his left thumb and forefinger.
- Mr Norkus injured his left hand on the table saw, losing the top of his middle, ring and little fingers.
