RSI DAYPLUS 2018 Webinar
Workplace Well-Being: Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies
February 28, 2018
8:30 AM— 1:30 PM EST
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) refers to a category of injuries involving damage to muscles, tendons and nerves caused by overuse or misuse.
Each year much of Ontario's workforce sustain Repetitive Strain Injuries, more workers sustain RSIs than all other occupational injuries combined. These injuries are also increasingly being reported by students and others in our communities. What is both troubling and a source of encouragement is knowing RSIs are preventable.
Workplace injuries such as repetitive strain injuries (RSI's) affect 15% or over 5 million Canadians. To increase awareness on these issues, the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) is pleased to offer RSI Day+. Join us for our free webinar as we celebrate the 19th year if increasing awareness.

Melissa Statham Physical factors of ergonomic risk can often be easily identified in the workplace. However, psychological effects are a little more discreet but can be just as costly. Workplace psychosocial factors are an aspect of the workplace that is developed by the culture, policies, expectations, and social attitude of the organization. If there is not a match between the work demands and mechanisms in place to help the worker meet these demands, the worker may experience stress induced responses that can contribute to poor mental/psychological or physical health. |
