Employment Support Whilst in Employment - 2008/05/10 19:33
Yesterday I had a visit from mmy Occouptaional Health dept in work. She came down to see if she could give me any tools to make my work a little easier for me to do my job.She looked at my work station closley.
Im getting a new Mouse, this one is shapped like a spaceship !!! Im going to try two new ones, the both dont involve any wrist movement at all, all the movement is from the fingers. Im also getting a new keyboard, you know the ones that are almost round and the keys are seperated in to sections.
Hopeflly I will get these in a few weeks fingers crossed.
So folks there is help out there. Ive found if you dont ask you dont get, so I asked, AND IM GETTING !!!!
each employer will have different guidelines but all of them would want you to stay in employment and keep you working. One thing that the Occuptaional health lady said was that she didnt want me to be doing any filing . . our files are very tightly together, and trying to get one out of hundreds takes alot of movement and power to pull the file out . . . so its not that easy for me to do that sideof my job.
I also have an adopted office seat, its great, couldnt do without it. All this is paid for my my empoloyer, I bet somethimes they wish I wasnt there, hahah I cost them so much £££££££££££$$$$$$$$$$$$$
