Check arm position for digital entry,
Many people get quite 'lazy' resting their wrists,
She may be doing the same for a calculator if used.
Although I don't personnaly like them - a soft wrist rest may help

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] DSE advice
HI There
I was just wondering what others would recommend for a lady doing PC
based work (in particular number pad work as she is in finance) who
presented with significant WRULD.
She is due to RTW on Monday after a period of absence and I have
suggested the usual things like rotation of tasks (pc and non-pc based),
meal/tea breaks away from PC, regular short breaks away from PC. I
intend also to do a DSE assessment on her return but just wondered if
there is anything from an equipment perspective that I am missing or
indeed we could look at to avoid a recurrence.
Any advice as always much appreciated
Rachael
