Safety Alert: Repetitive work resulting in injury(rod and tube handling, repetitive motion)
Why It Matters:
Repetitive tasks such as rod and tube handling can cause strain on a worker’s muscles, joints, and tendons.
Over time, this can lead to repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), and chronic pain that may impact an individual’s long-term health and ability to work. In the diamond drilling industry, where physical strength and endurance are vital, these injuries can result in lost time, reduced productivity, and long-term disability if not addressed.
