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.

What Can Be Done:
👉️ Ergonomic Practices
👉️ Mechanical Aids
👉️ Rest & Recovery
👉️ Training & Awareness
👉️ Adjust Workplaces
