Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Claims England

Understanding Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

 

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by repetitive movements, excessive strain, and prolonged awkward postures. It primarily affects the muscles, nerves, and tendons, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and chronic pain. RSI is particularly common in workplaces where employees engage in repetitive tasks, such as typing, manual labour, assembly line work, or operating vibrating machinery.


If you have developed RSI due to poor working conditions, lack of proper training, or inadequate preventive measures at your workplace, you may be entitled to compensation. Our allocated panel of solicitors specialize in helping individuals claim compensation for workplace injuries caused by employer negligence. 

Types of RSI

Type 1 RSI

Type 1 RSI

Type 1 RSI

 This includes specific conditions with clear medical diagnoses, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or tenosynovitis. 

Type 2 RSI

Type 1 RSI

Type 1 RSI

 Also referred to as "diffuse RSI," this type involves general pain and discomfort without an obvious medical diagnosis. It can still be debilitating and impact work performance. 

Employer Responsibilities in Preventing RSI

 

Under UK Health and Safety Law, employers have a legal obligation to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees. This includes taking steps to prevent RSI by:


  • Providing ergonomic workstations – Adjustable chairs, wrist supports, and standing desks can help prevent RSI.
  • Conducting regular risk assessments – Employers must assess potential hazards and implement measures to mitigate risks.
  • Implementing rotation and breaks – Encouraging regular breaks and task rotation reduces repetitive strain.
  • Offering training and education – Employees should be taught correct posture, lifting techniques, and the importance of rest periods.
  • Providing personal protective equipment (PPE) – Gloves, anti-vibration tools, and wrist supports can minimize the impact of repetitive tasks.


If your employer has neglected these responsibilities and you have developed RSI as a result, you may be entitled to claim compensation. 

Causes and Risk Factors of RSI in the Workplace

 RSI can develop gradually due to repeated strain on certain body parts over time. Some of the most common workplace-related causes of RSI include: 

Prolonged computer use

 Employees who spend hours typing or using a mouse without ergonomic support are at high risk of developing RSI, particularly in the wrists, hands, and forearms. 

Repetitive manual tasks

 

 Factory workers, assembly line operators, and those involved in repetitive lifting or sorting activities are susceptible to RSI in their arms, shoulders, and back. 

Frequent lifting or carrying

 Jobs that require repeated lifting of heavy objects can strain muscles and joints, leading to long-term injuries. 

Poorly designed workstations

 Incorrect desk height, lack of wrist support, and inadequate seating can contribute to poor posture and musculoskeletal disorders. 

Use of vibrating tools

 Power tools such as drills, jackhammers, and chainsaws can cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), a form of RSI that leads to numbness and tingling in the fingers.

How Much Compensation Can You Receive for RSI?

 

The compensation amount for RSI varies depending on the severity of your condition and its impact on your life. Several factors influence the final compensation payout, including:


  • The extent of pain and suffering – Chronic RSI that affects your daily activities may warrant a higher settlement.
  • Loss of earnings – If your RSI has affected your ability to work, you can claim for lost income.
  • Medical expenses – Costs related to treatments, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation can be reimbursed.
  • Future financial impact – If your RSI leads to long-term disability, you may be entitled to additional compensation.
  • Additional expenses – Travel costs for medical appointments and home modifications (if necessary) may be covered.
