International Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day, also known as RSI Awareness Day, is observed worldwide every February 28. Established in 2000 by Catherine Fenech in Canada, the day aims to highlight the prevalence of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), which can affect the musculoskeletal and nervous systems due to repetitive movements or fixed positions. Common RSIs include conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow, often resulting from occupational factors. Events organized by health professionals, employers, and occupational safety organizations include seminars, webinars, and social media campaigns. Participants are encouraged to learn about RSIs, improve workstation ergonomics, and engage in discussions about prevention with employers and coworkers. The day serves as a reminder to address workplace safety and promote better health practices.
