While we know that there were 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries or illnesses reported to the BLS during the latest reporting year, that does not tell us everything we need to know about work injuries. Most of us think of traumas (tool mishaps, falls, car crashes, etc.), but RSIs are just are debilitating.

All of these are the same things, and they happen over longer periods of time. These injuries occur when a worker performs the same motion over and over again. This can happen over the course of months or even years. You have likely heard of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is the most well-known RSI and affects around 2.7 percent of the population in the US.
Repetitive motion injuries affect workers in all industries. Some of the most common industries affected include:
You can picture their jobs in your head, workers performing the same motions over and over in an assembly line fashion.
Most of these injuries are preventable, especially when employers take the time to properly train their workers and provide them with the equipment necessary to do their jobs.
Unfortunately, it is not as easy to identify a workplace cause for many of these injuries. That is why these claims may be denied by employers or workers compensation insurers more often than other workplace injuries. This can leave workers with no options when it comes to treating their injuries or dealing with disabilities due to an RSI.
