Thanks Lucy but when you read the HSE regs re RIDDOR it now says carpel tunnel should be reported when specifically related to jobs where vibration is a factor. It does not mention repetition , only with tendonitis / tenosynovitis, which is my confusion..

The HSE regulations appear to be quite specific that the cause must be linked to vibrating or percussive tasks. Does this mean that repetitive ( as in a wrist movement on a production line), carried out hundreds of times daily, over several years, would not deem to be a reportable cause? My view is that the employee is likely to have developed her injury as a result of her employment tasks. Unfortunately we don’t have the telephone advice line to gain clarification… Kind regards Mandy Thomas OH Advisor Greencore Food to Go - Northampton Registered as Greencore Food to Go Ltd Greencore Group, UK Centre, Midland Way, Barlborough Links Business Park.
