It and has joined the family of musculo-skeletal conditions that are so often painful and disabling. The condition and is becoming more common as the use of thumb-operated gadgets increases. It is better to avoid the condition altogether, as once it has developed, treatment cannot be guaranteed to alleviate symptoms. Its important to remember that portable devices like the Blackberry almost always lead to the working day being extended into what should be non-work time and can seriously skew your life-work balance. Although the standards are inadequate and well in excess of standard working hours for university and college staff, remember that the Working Time Regulations provide for a maximum working week of 48 hours, and require 11 hours break between work periods education is not a sector where exemptions apply. Adopting the standard hierarchy of controls approach to dealing with a hazard, following the tips below can help protect your upper limbs from damage: Avoid using a hand-held device as much as possible Turn it off outside normal working time, or restrict its use to urgent messages, and dont take it on holiday. Dont undertake long tasks or long periods using the device use a more conventional keyboard and work-station. Only use the Blackberry device to send short messages, if this is unavoidable (it shouldnt be) take a break when typing long messages. Don't answer all e-mails from your hand held devicethe Blackberry. Leave less-urgent messages for when you get back to a proper workstation. Learn how to set-up automated processes to reduce the number of finger operations you need to perform. Use shortcuts. This not only helps to get tasks done faster but it reduces the need to scroll. Use the AutoText feature. This will automatically change common spelling mistakes and also allow for shortcut words. Hold the device in both hands, and rest your arms on a table or other stable surface. This will help support your arms and prevent too much tension building-up in your neck and shoulders. Avoid constant single-thumb typing by using other fingers, or use both thumbs to type instead of one. Take regular short breaks; put the Blackberry down and flex your arms, shoulders, hands and fingers. Use only in places with suitable lighting. Rest your eyes regularly by focussing on something away from the screen. Branches and LAs should consider negotiating a policy on portable communication device use for work that sets some limits on what the employer expects. Volkswagen, one of the worlds most successful manufacturers, provides smart-phone devices to over eleven hundred employees at its German plants. Following demands from the works council early in 2013, they agreed to limit Blackberry use outside normal working hours. Workers will now only receive messages from half an hour each side of flexi-time core hours, but will still be able to make phone calls. The company hopes this will reduce the time lost to sickness caused by burnout a stress-related condition linked to excessive working hours. $=>Q Կ|c|c>))h .hqZB*CJOJQJ^JaJphHh .hIh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJcHdhdhdhph0Hhh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0Hhh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .h?9B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hIB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hfB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hXB*CJOJQJ^JaJph,hfhqZ5B*CJOJQJ^JaJph  L F;4  & F<d\$gdX & F<d\$gdf & F<d\$gdp & F<gdfxgdfgdI + 4 C D G J   G K V    P _ հ~iiiTT??)h .hpB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hg|B*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hIB*CJOJQJ^JaJph0Hhh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJph0Hhh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJphHh .hqZh[B*CJOJQJ^JaJcHdhdhdhph)h .hqZB*CJOJQJ^JaJph)h .hXB*CJOJQJ^JaJph_   ' ?
