For over ten years Cardinus Risk Management has been supplying DSE/ergonomics safety solutions to many of the worlds’ largest organisations. During this time we have helped our customers to comply with regional and national regulations (such as the Display Screen Equipment regulations), to reduce injuries and improve productivity.
The office environment has traditionally been viewed as relatively free from serious hazards. We are aware of the potential for slips, trips and falls but the hazards associated with production activities are perceived as being absent. However, with the majority of office based staff now using display screen equipment, the rapid increase in home-working and the use of lap-tops, office workers have found themselves subject to Work Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULDs).
The Managing Work Related Upper Limb Disorders white paper comprises of a collection of articles that may have special interest for Health & Safety professionals seeking to deliver results from their ergonomics program. It will help you to view personal injury claims through the eyes of the legal profession and provide some different perspectives relating to how safety can be ‘marketed’ to management and employees.
