Over the past several decades, survival rates for many blood cancers have improved dramatically. Thanks to ongoing advancements in research, we’ve seen major breakthroughs in early and more accurate diagnostics, targeted and personalized treatments, immunotherapies, and improved supportive care. These innovations are helping more people not only survive, but live longer, fuller, and more meaningful lives after a diagnosis.

But progress doesn’t happen by chance. Every new treatment, every clinical trial, and every improvement in care is made possible through sustained investment in research.

At the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, we remain committed to funding life-saving research and accelerating innovation so that one day, blood cancers can be cured — and no one has to face this journey alone.

Ahead of Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day on February 28, UFCW 1006A is raising awareness about these type of injuries.

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety reports that repetitive strain injuries impact tendons, muscles, nerves, and joints in the hands, elbows, shoulders, lower back, and other parts of the body.

The centre further reports: "Gripping, holding, bending, twisting, clenching, typing, lifting, pushing, pulling, and reaching are ordinary movements we make every day, and are not particularly harmful. What makes them hazardous in work situations is the continual repetition of the movements. Other contributing work factors may include awkward postures, fixed body positions, excessive force concentrated on small parts of the body, such as the hand or wrist, a fast work pace with insufficient breaks or recovery time, and psychosocial factors, such as stress."

Ahead of Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day on February 28, UFCW 1006A is raising awareness to protect workers’ health and safety.

Often invisible, RSIs are musculoskeletal disorders which are caused by common actions, including pulling, griping, lifting, reaching, twisting and bending. These injuries worsen when combined with poor working conditions, including little to no recovery time or breaks, fast pace, excessive force or weight, and fixed positions.

Signs and symptoms of RSIs include ongoing or intermittent discomfort, pain and limited mobility in wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, back, arms, and other body parts.

If you see any hazards or believe you are at risk for an RSI, please contact your employer, your joint health and safety committee member, your union representative or your union health and safety specialist. Eliminating hazards is key to prevention and we, as workers, also play a key role in observing potential hazards and starting the discussions with all concerned parties.

RSI day is observed on February 28 in non-leap years and on February 29 in leap years.
