Occupational Health & Safety

We advise Occupational Health and Health and Safety professionals on the sorts of tools and aids that will help avoid or support RSI conditions that emanate from typical computer use postures, whether at work or home.

 

Computer Posture is a not for profit website, founded by an IT professional who became a permanent RSI sufferer with little warning and this is typical of many sufferers.

Local Workplace Advice
