Does anyone know where I could get access to posters about WRULDs? I'm interested in some that identify the early symptoms and the kind of things employees can do to minimise risk (such as regularly changing their activities).
The purpose is to raise awareness of the condition (we are also implementing other controls before someone says we shouldn't be starting with this).
The activities are not associated with DSE so I am hoping to try and avoid posters with computer workstations on them.
Regards
Lucy

Why not make your own?
That way if you have repetitive tasks that you have assessed you can use these and they will make sense to everyone rather than feature activities unrelated to your workplace.

Second this, make your own, google some images, or perhaps take pictures of the activities concerned.

In answer to your question, Does anyone know where I could get access to posters about WRULDs?, Ergoweb (www.ergoweb) are is a small firm of world-class ergonomists who've produced low-cost, very, very well-researched illustrations you can turn into posters.

You can also buy a set of 623 clip art items of well-designed ergonomic applications to provent WRULD and similar conditions from Auburn Engineers Inc. at http://ergopage.com/ergonomics_clip_art. In my experience, their publications are good value

Your question came to mind a few minutes ago when I came across a copy of The McGill Pain Questionnaire by Ronal Melzack, in my filing system; it accompanied a well-researched article on pain research published in The Lancet, vol 353 May 6, 1999 by John D Loeser & R Melzack.
USDAW use a 'pain location diagram' of the kind that Melzack created - ot portrays the front and back of a (unisex) body - in a poster to promote awareness of MSDs arising from postural strains, lifting and repetitive upper limb movements at work.
A well-reseached/designed poster is a very cost-effective instrument to convey the message of the 'invisible' sources of often-permanent damage to industrious workpeople.
