The demise of repetitive strain injury in sceptical governing rationalities of workplace managers

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that the downward trend in the number of repetitive strain injuries is due in part to management skepticism regarding the legitimacy of RSI claims. By viewing RSI as more indicative of a certain type of employee instead of certain types of work environments, management curbed the burgeoning of RSI as a significant occupational health issue.
