Repetitive strain injuries can be caused by any type of work that involves repetitive tasks, such as data input/typing, working on a production/assembly line or operating machinery and vibrating tools. All UK employers have a duty of care to protect your health and wellbeing.

You could be eligible to make an RSI claim if:

• You’ve been medically diagnosed with an RSI-related condition because your employer did not implement safeguarding practices.
• Your employer failed to supply you with suitable equipment (computer, tools or machines) or a safe and comfortable desk or workstation.
• Your employer failed to provide safe working conditions, including the appropriate amount of breaks and RSI prevention training.
