Since I work at a startup technology company, our MSDS did
not have any chemical warnings on it. One of the warnings that I found
interesting was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This
symptom seemed to be repeated a lot and seemed to be something that has been
resulted in the past workers a lot. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Is a numbness and tingling in hands, wrists, and arm caused
by a pinch nerve. More than 3 million cases are diagnosed per year. Treatment
could be ice, wrist splints, or in severe cases-surgery. It can be caused by
constant use of your wrists, such as typing. The MSDS was very easy to understand
and follow for all workers.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCarpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the warnings that my works advises against as well. For this reason my work provides some alternatives such as ergonomic keyboards, mouse, and sit to stand desks. I think my workplace, just in the time that I have been there, is trying to be more conscious of this issue and make the ergonomic solutions more accessible and the "norm".
