peer agreement (net): +1repetitive strain at work Explanation: Repetitive strain at work or work involving repetitive strain A more common expression is the result - a repetitive strain injury, abbreviated as RSI. http://www.webmd.com/news/20070329/exercise-lowers-repetitiv... Repetitive manual work is another expression - used by BUPA on this site: http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/mosby_factsheets/Repetiti... "The term repetitive strain injury (RSI) is generally used to describe a painful condition associated with doing a particular activity repeatedly or for long periods of time. RSI is often caused by typing or repetitive manual work, for example using vibrating machinery in a factory." Cumulative trauma is yet another expresssion, but it is not so common, and not as close to the Danish as repetitive strain. (The name of the site here also indicates that RSI is better known.) :-) http://www.rsi-uk.org.uk/ I think I would go for something like 'monotonous work that causes repetitive strain injury (RSI) -- or of course, any better way of putting it that fits your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2008-02-02 16:47:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- monotonous, repetitive work is another possibility, but the fixed expression still seems to be the result - RSI |
