The Confederation of British Industry estimates that the total cost to Employers of absence from work is around £13 billion per year.

Our services can help reduce sickness absence in your business.

• Musculoskeletal conditions such as low back pain, upper limb pain and lower limb injuries are the commonest problems causing absence from work.

We aim to help an employee to recover fitness to return to work as soon as possible.

• Repetitive Strain injury (RSI)
  This covers a whole range of upper limb disorders. It is most commonly associated with keyboard workers but actually affects a whole range of people including:
  • food process workers
  • production line workers
  • assembly line operators
  • typists and keyboard operators
  • kitchen workers
  • hairdressers
  • carpet layers
  • sportsmen and women
  • musicians

Compensation and damages are high:

• Four cases, four employers in two years, each connected to work-related upper limb disorders, so called RSI.
  • £59,617 to an assembly line worker.
  • £21 ,000 award to six turkey processors.
  • £8,750 to TGWU shop steward for unfair dismissal.
  • £6,000 each to two data processors.
• £40,000 to a secretary after developing tenosynovitis as a result of her workload at a law firm.

We can provide assessment and advice for these conditions, and training in prevention for your employees.
