Welcome

The increased use of computer equipment and software packages both in the workplace and at home are increasing the risk of staff being affected by Work Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULDs).

 

Therefore, a global programme has been implemented as part of an auditable health based strategy that will put in place one simple, cohesive system to help protect staff from injury and illness.

Programme Components

1. Training and Awareness of Staff
2. Deployment of preventative software - Remedy OES and RSIGuard
3. One Body Your Body Workshops
4. Touch Typing Courses
5. Delivery of new briefing documentation
6. Delivery of new processes which support the identification of WRULs and associated early intervention
7. Development of Health Services which are able to support staff in need of remedial treatment
8. Reporting at all levels from individual to executive leadership
9. Development of ergonomic guidelines for future software
10. Long-term management (or evergreen process).

Look after your body

Remember:

• Good Posture
• Correct Set-up
• Regular Breaks
